By using just a few basic ingredients such as milk, eggs, sugar, and flour, your preparation will be ready in no time.

Ingredients
 500 Milk
 ½ clove Vanilla or a little liquid vanilla
 60 Flour
 75 Sugar
 Flavor of your choice (coffee, cocoa powder ...)
Directions
1

Put 500 ml of milk in a saucepan with a split vanilla bean or liquid vanilla. Place over high heat to bring to a boil. Add the flavoring at the beginning of the boiling.

2

While the milk is brought to a boil, turn off the heat and mix the flour and sugar in a bowl. Once the flour and sugar are combined, add the 3 egg yolks and mix.

3

Once the egg yolks are mixed with the flour and sugar, gradually add the milk to the mixture and stir.

4

Once the milk is well incorporated into the mixture, return everything to the saucepan and place over low heat. Stir with a wooden spatula until the cream thickens.
