Advice
Be ready to adjust the flour amount as needed. Focus on getting the desired consistency, not strictly following the flour quantity in the recipe.
Preparation
Step 1
You can adjust the sugar amount to your taste. The butter must be at room temperature, so take it out of the fridge in advance.
Step 2
Pour milk into a saucepan. Place over low heat and warm it up until steaming but not boiling.
Step 3
In a bowl, whisk egg yolks with sugar, vanilla sugar, and flour. You can use just yolks or substitute with 2 large whole eggs. If using whole eggs, flour is optional.
Step 4
While whisking constantly, slowly pour some hot milk into the egg mixture. The mix should stay smooth without lumps. Then pour the mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk.
Step 5
Return the pan to the stove. Cook on low heat, stirring continuously, until thickened. Do not boil - it may curdle. Cook to your desired thickness, keeping in mind it thickens more as it cools.
Step 6
Remove from heat, cover with plastic wrap touching the surface, and cool completely to room temperature or lower. In winter, you can cool it on the balcony; in summer, use the fridge. Transferring to a bowl helps it cool faster.
Step 7
Add soft butter to the cooled custard and beat with a mixer until fluffy. Important: butter and custard must be the same temperature (room temp or slightly cooler), or it will separate. Check the center of the custard too.
Step 8
While mixing on low speed, gradually add sweetened condensed milk. Don’t pour it all at once - too much will make the cream runny. Add in small portions until fluffy and thick.
Step 9
The custard is ready. Use it for cakes or pastries. Enjoy!
