1. In a saucepan, take honey. Warm it over a very low flame.
2. Add egg yolks to it, one at a time and beating it continuously after every addition. This will turn the mixture into creamy yellow.

4. In another saucepan, bring milk to a boil.
5. Add milk very slowly to the egg mixture, stirring it constantly with a wire whisk.
6. Cook over a low flame for around 5 minutes or till the custard starts to bubble. Stir and continue to cook for another 2 minutes taking care that the pastry cream does not boil.
7. Remove from flame and add vanilla extract. Keep it aside to cool. Stir occasionally to prevent a crust layer from forming. Refrigerate.
