Spoon dough into a piping bag and pipe it out into log shapes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 425 degrees F for 10 minutes, and then, without opening the oven door, preheat to 375 degrees F and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
For the pastry cream, Mix vanilla and milk in a pot over medium heat on the stove.
