Method

Make the crème pâtissière: In a saucepan, bring the milk and vanilla sugar almost to a boil. In a bowl, beat the egg yolk with the granulated sugar and flour until foamy and smooth. While stirring, add the warm milk to the egg mixture and then pour everything back into the saucepan.

Bring this slowly to a boil, stirring constantly, and let the crème thicken; it should be like yogurt. Re
