To serve : 6-8
Preparation : 25 min
Cooking : 35 min
Budget : Cheap

Difficulty : Easy
 
Ingredients :
1 kg flaky pastry
300g wild strawberries (try a fruit farm if you don't have any growing nearby)

1 vanilla pod
50g corn flour
25g chilled butter
150g whipped cream

A Frank Cerutti Recipe
Bring the milk to the boil, with 20g sugar and the vanilla pod split lengthways.
Beat eggs and remaining sugar together.
Add cornflour and a little milk to thin, stir well.
Add to milk and boil again, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.
Beat in whipped cream.

Wash and slice strawberries in half, add to custard.

Roll out pastry, cut into 3, about 2mm in thickness.
Cook in an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C)for 35 minutes.
Once cooked, remove from oven and put straight onto a cooling rack so pastry does not puff up.
Sprinkle with icing sugar and put under a warm grill for a few seconds.

Build the millefeuille, alternating layers of pastry and custard, until you have three layers of pastry.
Decorate with a few strawberries and fresh mint leaves.
