Method (preview)

1. 1

   Blend everything in large bowl and mix.

2. 2

   Roll out on floured board and cut with a four inch water glass.

3. 3

   Make 12 circles.

4. 4

   Line greased cupcake pan with the 12 circles.

5. 5

   Fill each cup with pastry cream (below).

6. 6

   Top each with another circle cut with a 3 inch glass--make sure the cake is sealed.

7. 7

   Bake 20 to 25 minutes at 375. Let cool completely in pan.

8. 8

   If you choose to cook it that way, make sure you keep the heat low while you're waiting for the stuff to thicken, and never ever stop stirring, or the cream will stick to the bottom and burn and then you will have a million nasty little brownish-black flecks throughout your pudding, which will do absolutely nothing for the texture.

9. 9

   In microwave bowl, mix

10. 10

    Meanwhile, put 3 egg yolks (or two whole eggs) into another bowl and beat them slightly.

11. 11

    Quickly stir half of the hot milk mixture into eggs, and then add the new egg mixture to the origianl milk mixture.

12. 12

    Add 1 T butter 1 t vanilla extract (And, optionally, for extra flavor) 1 t almond extract

13. 13

    Let cream cool before adding to cupcakes or creampuffs... If you're eating it by itself, it’s great while it’s still warm.
