Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix 2-3 tablespoons of cold milk with egg yolks, cornstarch, sugar, and vanilla extract. In a saucepan, heat the remaining milk. Gradually add the heated milk to the mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a custard. Remove from heat, cover, and let it cool completely.
Roll out the puff pastry. Evenly spread the cooled custard over the puff pastry.
Sprinkle diced strawberries over the custard.
Gently roll the puff pastry from the long side into a log. Cut the log into slices, approximately 1.5-2 cm wide.
Carefully place the slices on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the sides with the egg yolk-milk mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown.
Allow the Strawberry Pastry to cool completely and dust with powdered sugar.
