Method

  1. To make pastry, cream the 125g soft butter and 50ml castor sugar. Beat in 1 egg, sift in 500ml cake flour and salt. Form a ball and chill while making the filling.
  2. Using heavy based saucepan, scald 500ml milk and cinnamon stick. Mix flour, sugar to paste with remaining 125ml milk. Stir in the hot milk then return to saucepan and cook until thick, stirring and keeping heat low to prevent scorching. When thick and smooth remove and add butter, cool.
