How to Make Mille Feuille

Prepare the Puff Pastry by rolling it out to fit your baking sheet.
In a saucepan, combine the whole milk and granulated sugar and warm over medium heat.
Whisk together the egg yolks, corn starch, and all-purpose flour in a separate bowl.
Gradually add the warm milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat until thickened.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla bean paste and 50 g of softened unsalted butter.
Let the mixture cool at room temperature, stirring occasionally.
Once cooled, whip the remaining 150 g of softened unsalted butter and fold it into the cooled pastry cream.
