Prepare the pastry cream: take a saucepan and add all the milk with the seeds from a half vanilla bean.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is light and the sugar is dissolved.

Incorporate flour into the egg yolk and sugar mixture until thick.

Gradually add half of the warmed milk to the egg mixture, whisking to combine and then add the rest of the milk.

Strain the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, whisking continuously until thickened, about 2-3 minutes after boiling starts.

Once thick, transfer the pastry cream to a clean container and cover with plastic wrap touching the surface to prevent a skin from forming.

Prepare the ramekins by greasing them and ensuring they are ready for the souffle mixture.
