Knead to a homogeneous, smooth dough, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least half an hour. 4. For the cream, mix the yolk with sugar, save the protein. 5. Add the sifted starch. 6. Add milk and cream in portions, stirring. Add vanillin and put cream on low heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, for 5-10 minutes, until the cream thickens. Pour the cream into a large, flat dish, cover with cling film, and let cool to room temperature.
