Lemon Cream for Pastries
A wonderful, delicious topping for pastries. Cakes and pastries with cream are the best food in the world — and even cream on its own, without any base, makes a pretty good dessert. You can spread it on cookies, stir it into ice cream, or just eat it by the spoonful. There are countless sweet creams out there, and the one I'm sharing is a French lemon cream.

- In a saucepan, heat the milk with the lemon zest over very low heat until it just begins to steam. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar, flour, and starch. The sugar should dissolve completely and the mixture should be smooth, with no lumps or grains. Once the milk is hot, whisk half of it into the egg mixture, beating constantly. As soon as it's evenly combined, pour it back into the hot milk on the stove — slowly, stirring the whole time — until the cream cooks and thickens. Then take it off the heat, add the vanilla and lemon liqueur, and let it cool: first at room temperature, then in the refrigerator until fully chilled. It's a very tasty, fragrant cream, and low-calorie too. Use it to fill choux pastries or spread over a lemon cake, or simply serve it for dessert in cups, each garnished with a slice of lemon.
