Preparation
In a saucepan, pour half a liter of milk. Scrape half a vanilla pod with a knife, and add the seeds and the pod to the milk. Bring everything to a boil over low heat to infuse the vanilla well into the milk.
Separate the yolks from the whites of 5 eggs, and put them in a salad bowl or bowl. Pour in 100 grams of sugar and beat vigorously with a whisk until the mixture whitens and the sugar crystals are dissolved.
Gradually add 60 grams of cornstarch (cornflour type) or, failing that,
flour, to the egg yolk and sugar mixture. Mix gently so as not to form lumps.
Once the mixture is well blended, pour half of the just-boiling vanilla flavored milk – onto the creamer.
Mix delicately at first then more vigorously to loosen the cream. When the cream is very soft, pour it back into the saucepan with the remaining half of the milk.
