Pastry cream with starch
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The custard cream is very easy to make. Wheat flour is often used as a thickener, but cornstarch is considered the classic choice. This is because it makes the cream more delicate, with a smooth and uniform texture. Butter can be added to this cream. It can be made with whole eggs or just yolks, using milk or cream. The finished dessert can be served at the table.
