Preheat oven to 350°F. Place each puff pastry sheet on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
Step 2
Add three cups of milk to a sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the flour, vanilla, rum (if using), and remaining 1 cup of the milk.
Step 4
When milk has come to a boil, fold egg yolk mixture into boiling milk and slowly stir until thickened. Remove from heat.

In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, and slowly fold into the custard mixture.
