Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
2
Add the egg yolks and mix until a smooth dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
3
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Roll out the dough and line a pie dish with it. Prick the bottom with a fork. Blind-bake for 15 minutes.
4
For the filling, scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into a saucepan with the milk. Heat until warm, but do not boil.
5
In a bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and cornstarch. Gradually pour in the warm milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
6
Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Be careful not to let it boil!
7
Pour the vanilla cream into the pre-baked pie crust and smooth the top.
8
Bake for an additional 20 minutes at 350°F (180°C), or until the filling is slightly set.
9
Let the pie cool completely. Dust the top with powdered sugar, slice, and serve.
