Step 1: Bake the Puff Pastry
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Lay each puff pastry sheet on the trays. Prick all over with a fork to prevent excessive puffing.
Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden and crisp. Cool completely.
Step 2: Cook the Custard
Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming (avoid boiling).
In a bowl, whisk sugar and flour together.
Stir in egg yolks until smooth.

Return mixture to saucepan, cook stirring until thickened and bubbling. Simmer 1–2 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and rum. Cover surface with plastic wrap and cool.
