Meanwhile, let's make the cream. Heat the milk in a saucepan. Just before it comes to a boil, add the vanilla sugar, and remove from the heat. Take 3 eggs, separate the yolks, and pour them into a bowl. Add sugar and 4 tablespoons of flour to the same bowl. Mix. Pour this mixture into the hot milk and stir slowly. Bring the mixture almost (!) to a boil—it is important that the eggs do not curdle. Remove from the heat, let cool, and refrigerate.
