Custard Lemon Cream

Custard (crema pasticcera) is the main ingredient for Italian pastry. Let's see what ingredients we need:

1 tablespoon flour;
1 tablespoon of sugar;
1 egg
Lemon zest;
1 cup of milk.

For cream, we need only the yolk. Separate it from the protein and put it in a small saucepan. Add a spoonful of sugar and mix until smooth. Now add the flour and mix the ingredients thoroughly again. Add milk and lemon zest. Put the cream on a slow fire, stir it constantly, until the mass becomes moderately thick. Pull out the lemon at the end. Ready, but still hot custard has the consistency of sour cream. Cooling gradually, it will become more dense. The cream is ready. You can eat it just like that or put it in pies.
