Basic Custard Cream

Delicious custard cream is essential if you are going to make cream puffs!
I add the same amount of heavy cream to this custard cream, and use it when I'm making cream puffs.

It will harden when chilled, so don't heat too much. Stop the heat when it has softened a little.
Use any kind of liqueur you like.
You can easily make custard cream in the microwave, but I think making it in a saucepan gives a smoother and tastier finish. Recipe by MiP

    Stir the milk into the bowl in small batches. Strain, and then return the mixture to the saucepan.
