    1. Pour the milk into a heavy-bottomed saucepan, holding back a little in a glass. Add the sugar to the pan and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the milk is almost boiling—but don't let it boil. 2. Add the flour to the reserved milk. For a thick cream, use 3 very heaping tablespoons of flour; for a thinner cream, 1.5 tablespoons is enough. Whisk the milk and flour together well. 3. Add a little of the hot milk to the flour-milk mixture, stir, then pour it into the pan while stirring constantly. Cook over the lowest heat, stirring the whole time. The mixture should thicken to about the consistency of sweetened condensed milk. It will thicken further as it cools, so don't overcook it. 4. Take the mixture off the heat and let it cool to about 95°F (35°C). To keep a skin from forming, stir it now and then or press plastic wrap directly against the surface. 5. Whip the softened butter until light and fluffy. Continuing to beat at low speed, add the cooled flour mixture one spoonful at a time, mixing well after each addition, until it's all incorporated. This cream is perfect for filling éclairs, doughnuts, and puff pastry. Enjoy!
