Eggs (yolks) - 5 pcs.

Рецепт
1. Pour milk into a saucepan, add sugar and vanillin.
2. Separate the egg yolks from the whites and beat them a little. Pour the yolks into the saucepan and bring to a boil while constantly stirring. No need to boil!
3. Add potato starch in one portion and, without ceasing to stir (it’s better to use a whisk for this), bring to a boil and cook for 1-2 minutes. Instead of starch, you can use wheat flour. In this case, the cream only needs to be brought to a boil. The thickness of the cream can be adjusted by the amount of starch - the more it is, the thicker the cream turns out.
4. Then add the butter and, stirring, wait until it has completely melted and remove from heat.
5. The custard for eclairs turns out to be very tender, homogeneous and pleasant to the taste. But! If it turns out with lumps, it’s not a problem. You can save it by grinding it through a fine sieve, and it will become smooth, shiny, appetizing and very tasty.
6. Custard will perfectly complement any cake. It can be used not only for filling eclairs, but also for layering pies or cakes; you can combine it with cookies or fruit to create an unrivaled dessert.
7. Bon appetit. Cook with love.
