    To cook the cream, take a non-stick pan. This guarantees that the cream will not burn. Pour milk into a saucepan and add sugar. Put it on the fire. Stir and bring to a boil. During heating, the sugar will completely dissolve.

    Most often, I use this cream to assemble the Napoleon cake. In it, fresh cakes are perfectly complemented by this sweet cream. If you use the cream for other purposes, then the amount of sugar can be slightly reduced. Use the ready-made cream as intended!

How do I know if an egg is fresh? Break it into a separate container. First of all, there should be no unpleasant smell. The protein of fresh eggs will be transparent and clean. The yolk should not spread and will be shiny, convex, homogeneous.

Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.
