Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1

   Heat the milk in a saucepan; it should become hot, but do not bring it to a boil.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Make the egg-sugar base: in a bowl, mix together sugar, flour, and salt. Add the egg yolks to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. A thick paste should form.

3. 3

   Step 3

   Add milk to the egg mixture. The milk should be added in small portions to prevent the eggs from curdling. Pour in a little milk and whisk until smooth, then add a bit more milk, and so on.

   Step 4

   After you have added all the milk, place the resulting mixture on the stove. It is best to heat the mixture using a water bath, as this will prevent the cream from boiling and burning. Heat the mixture on the stove, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens.

   Step 5
