The delicious graffe (Italian donuts), from the previous post, require a special custard for the filling. Store-bought custard will not do. A good pastry cream begins with quality ingredients. For flavouring, we recommend using vanilla bean and orange zest. If you cannot find vanilla bean, the next best thing is pure vanilla extract. You can also use vanilla essence or vanillin sugar.
Pastry cream or crème pâtissière can be used in many desserts, which makes this easy recipe very important to learn. It is very versatile and we hope to post several for desserts in which this pastry cream will be used. This recipe uses fewer eggs than many other recipes and you do not need cream to prepare it. One option we like is the addition of a little cream cheese, but this is entirely up to you if you wish to add it or leave it out. You can replace the flour with a 1/4 cup of corn starch (UK: cornflour), but we prefer to use flour whenever we prepare pastry cream.

Steps for preparing the pastry cream Combine the sugar, egg yolks, and flour. Whisk well.
In a pot set over medium heat, combine the milk, vanilla bean, and orange zest. Do not let the milk boil.
Take a 1/4 cup of the warm milk and mix with the egg mixture.
Add the egg mixture to the milk before the milk reaches the boiling point. Whisk continuously.
Add the cream cheese, if using, then add the butter. Whisk well.
Transfer to a bowl and place cling film directly on the surface to prevent the cream from forming a skin. Refrigerate.
