Ingredients
  

  • 13.2 oz ready-made butter puff pastry (I used home-made rough puff pastry)
  • Handful of sugar
  • 8.4 fl oz full-fat milk
  • 1 vanilla bean (split and seeds scraped)
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1.7 oz caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp of cornflour (corn starch)
  • 3.3 fl oz double cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 7 oz raspberries
  • 1 tsp of icing sugar (confectioner's sugar)
  • Optional: Raspberry sauce, to serve

Instructions
 

  • Roll out pastry on a floured surface to a 30cm (12 inch) square. Put pastry on a baking sheet, brush off flour then sprinkle with sugar. Prick with a fork (this will stop it from puffing up and making it difficult to layer). Chill for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F). Bake pastry for 15 minutes, until golden.
  • Heat milk with vanilla bean and seeds.
  • While waiting for the milk to heat up, whisk yolks with caster sugar and cornflour until thick and pale.
  • Whisk in hot milk then put back into the pan over a medium heat until custard comes to the boil. Let it boil for one further minute, then remove from heat and stir until smooth. Put in a bowl and place cling film over the custard. Chill in the fridge until cold.
  • Whip cream until firm. When the custard is cold, mix together the custard and cream, along with the vanilla extract. Cover and chill until needed.
  • Cut the pastry into 3 equal strips (10x30cm / 3.9 x 11.8 inches) and cut each strip across into 6 pieces. Layer 3 pieces with pastry, cream and raspberries. Repeat to make 6 mille-feuilles. Dust with icing sugar and serve with a jug of raspberry sauce, if using.
