pastry cream

I messed with a couple recipies, this is the only one that is stiff enough to be layered. I decided to fold in the cream at the end to lighten the original recipie. 2.5 cups mile
1 vanilla bean
6 egg yolk
1/2 cup vanilla sugar
1/4 cup flour AP
6TB (40grams) corn starch
1 cup whipped heavy cream (with sugar)
Mix sugar and egg yolk, then add flour and starch.
Bring milk and vanilla to a boil. Gradually add together. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly for 60seconds, being careful to not scramble. Strain and cool. After chilled fold in the whipped cream. Also, important to cover imediatly or a skim forms on the top. Makes about 3 cups.
