Place between two baking sheets and bake at 200°C (400°F) until golden and crispy, about 15-20 minutes.

Heat milk with split vanilla pod. Whisk egg yolks with sugar and cornstarch, then gradually add hot milk. Cook until thick, stirring constantly. Stir in butter.

Cover cream with plastic wrap directly on surface to prevent skin forming. Cool pastry layers on wire racks.

Layer pastry and cream alternately, finishing with pastry on top. Press gently.
