Pastry Cream
Method
Assembly and Baking
Assemble and Bake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out one disk of dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan and place it in the pan. Fill with the cooled pastry cream. Roll out the second disk of dough and place it over the filling, sealing the edges. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool before slicing and serving.
