Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface until thin.

Cut the pastry into rectangles, about 4x6 inches.

Place the rectangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Prepare the cream by heating milk in a saucepan until steaming.

In a bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, cornstarch, and salt until smooth.

Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.

Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and butter until smooth.

Let the cream cool to room temperature.

Spoon the cooled cream onto one edge of each pastry rectangle and roll tightly.

Brush the edges with egg wash to seal.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden and puffed.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
