Dilute a little by little, and always stirring, with the hot boiling milk.
Place on the heat, keep on stirring and simmer for 3-4- minutes.
Remove from heat, pour the cream into a bowl and let it cool stirring occasionally, so that no film forms on the surface

Chef’s advices
Custard is used to stuff puffs (beignets), profiteroles, cannoncini and many other cakes.
Flour makes it a little more consistent but less delicate than the crème anglaise.
