Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Beat the eggs or egg yolks with sugar, then add flour and mix. Gradually stir in cold milk, then place the mixture over heat and cook, whisking with a whisk or fork. When it comes to a boil, remove from heat and add vanilla.
Step 2
If the cream is not used immediately, it should be transferred to a porcelain bowl, leveled off at the top, and pieces of butter placed on top (to prevent a skin from forming) or sprinkled with sugar.
