Pastry Cream (crème pâtissière) Recipe

Pastry cream (crème pâtissière) is a basic recipe in French baking. It is frequently used in French pastry. e.g.) various puff pastries, fruit tarts, gateau Basque, etc.

With crème patissiere, you can make tart au fraises (strawberry tart), elaires, and mille-feuilles (Napoleon). I will use pastry cream as Religieuse filling in the next video, too.
