Summary

Ingredients

For the custard:

• Milk – 500 ml
• Flour – 75 g (0.5 cups of 250 ml)
• Butter – 65 g
• Sugar – 50 g
• Vanillin – 1 pinch

For caramel:

• Corn starch – 10 g
• Sugar – 50 g
• Cold water – 65 ml
• Hot water – 50 ml

Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a skillet over low heat.
2. Add flour and stir immediately until smooth.
3. Stirring constantly, fry the flour and butter for about 5-6 minutes.
4. If the pan is small, transfer the butter-fried flour to a saucepan or stewpan. Pour in milk.
5. Stir constantly with a whisk and heat the mixture over low heat for about 3-4 minutes, until smooth.
6. While stirring, add half the sugar (50 g) and vanillin.
7. While stirring, boil the mixture for about 4-5 minutes, until thickened.
8. Whisk vigorously with a whisk or high-speed mixer to create a delicate and uniform cream.
9. Divide the custard into glasses. If you have glass glasses, the cream must first be cooled to a warm state.
10. While the mass is cooling, prepare the caramel. Pour the cornstarch into a bowl.
11. Pour cold water into the starch and stir thoroughly until the starch dissolves.
12. Add the remaining sugar (50 g) to the skillet and place it on low heat.
13. Spread the sugar over the bottom and, without stirring, heat for about 2-3 minutes. As soon as the sugar begins to darken and melt, stir vigorously for about 1-2 minutes, until light brown.
14. Stir the starch and water again and gently pour it into the pan.
15. Stir quickly until smooth. Pour in boiling water and continue stirring vigorously.
16. Stir constantly and cook the caramel over low heat for about 4-5 minutes.
17. Place the hot caramel in glasses on top of the cooled creamy mass and smooth out gently. Place the dessert in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes, until it chills.
