Procedure: first we are going to make the sponge, for that we mix a little warm milk, a tablespoon of sugar and the yeast, cover it and let it rest for 15 minutes.
We place the rest of the ingredients (except the butter) in a bowl, add the yeast sponge and mix until a dough is formed. Then, we add the butter and continue kneading. At this moment the dough becomes very sticky, but be careful not to add more flour, knead it even if it costs for 10 minutes and you will see that it is no longer sticky. Let rest for 20 minutes. After that time we cut portions of dough of 40 g each, roll them into balls and place them on a greased plate, we leave them. Leave until they double in volume.
Meanwhile, we prepare the pastry cream, heat the milk with half the sugar. In a bowl, mix the remaining sugar together with the cornstarch. Add the eggs and mix until integrated. Add the hot milk and return everything to a gentle heat, stirring continuously until it comes to a boil. When that happens, cook for another minute without stopping stirring. Outside the heat, add the vanilla essence and cover it with a film in contact so that a crust does not form. Let it cool.
Once the loaves have risen, we brush them with beaten egg, cook in an oven at 180º for approximately 15-20 minutes or fry without brushing, once cold we cut the loaves diagonally with the help of scissors, fill with pastry cream and sweet of pastry milk. Sprinkle with powdered sugar on top.
