Step 3
Pour in the milk and thoroughly whisk the contents of the bowl with a whisk, scraping the bottom and lifting the yolk mixture. Add the wheat flour and whisk again until smooth, making sure no lumps form. Add the flour only to the cold mixture—the milk should be chilled, otherwise the flour will clump.

Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Heat the mixture almost to boiling, and start stirring with a whisk when it begins to thicken, around the 3-minute mark. Cook the cream until it reaches the desired thickness, but do not let it boil! Turn off the heat and transfer the custard cream into containers to cool.
