Expert Tips

Sieve the solid ingredients to get the consistency of the custard.
If the consistency is thick, put it back on the stove and add milk little by little. When the consistency is liquid, add starch and flour.
Keep stirring, and always use a wooden spoon.
After preparing the custard, set it aside to cool down.
You can use brown sugar for the caramelizing process. When the sugars have a sticky consistency, you can pour custard on top.
