Vanilla Bean Puffs



These were excellent! Since young, one of my all time favourite desserts was simple cream puffs, not the ones filled with fresh cream but the ones filled with custardy pastry cream. A good friend recently got me some really fresh vanilla pods from Indonesia and quickly jumped at the chance of making my own pastry cream. What a tremendous difference the vanilla seeds made. Beautiful vanilla scent and even better tasting puffs.
