The integral components of custard are most often dairy products: milk or heavy cream, - sweeteners and eggs. And many mistakenly believe that without the last name the cream is unthinkable: since it will not reach the necessary density. In fact, a custard without eggs is easy enough. There are several delicious recipes.

Egg-free custard - a classic recipe

The classic recipe includes only 5 ingredients, which, as mentioned earlier, do not include eggs:

  • milk - 200 ml;
  • sugar - 100 g;
  • butter - 100 g;
  • flour - 75 g;
  • sachet (1 g) of vanillin.

To bring to life custard without eggs in milk, you should follow the recommendations exactly:

  1. We soften fresh oil: you can do this before removing it from the refrigerator or warming it up a bit in the microwave. The main thing is not to overdo it so that the oil does not completely melt.
  2. Pour 4/5 of the available volume of milk into a thick-walled pan. We send sugar there. Turn on the hotplate and heat the milk.
  3. Waiting for boiling, apply the rest of the milk. It is necessary to breed flour in it: there should not be the slightest hint of lumps.
  4. The milk in the pan warmed well, but still did not boil - excellent! Add the diluted flour mixture there.
  5. And regularly mix, bringing the mass to thicken.
  6. The mass is thickened - remove from the stove and, stirring regularly, so that a milk film does not form on the surface, wait for cooling.
  7. Beat butter at this time. Since the oil mixture should be lush, it is convenient to use a mixer.
  8. The combination of the two parts should start with the addition of vanillin. Having done this, we begin to add whipped oil to the cooled milk mixture. We do this in portions - 3 tablespoons at a time.And again, do not forget about the mixer.

According to this recipe, a fairly thick cream is obtained. And many may think that it is not suitable for spreading a cake. In this case, read the following recipe.

We are preparing a layer for cake on milk

For greasing cakes, especially biscuit ones, a less thick custard is more suitable.

It is prepared on the basis of the following food set:

  • butter - 100 g;
  • water - 125 ml;
  • sugar - 500 g;
  • flour - 1 tbsp. l

To make custard for the cake, follow these steps:

  1. Pour 65 ml of chilled, boiled water into 0.5 kg of sugar, as in the previous recipe, send to the stove. We seek to obtain a clear syrup.
  2. The remaining 60 ml of water is combined with flour to the state of a uniform dough.
  3. In hot, but not yet boiling syrup, add the dough and cook until thickened. We make sure that the contents of the pan do not burn.
  4. We remove from the stove and, while we wait for cooling, we will take up oil.
  5. Beat the butter and add it to the cooled sugar mixture.

The cream should turn out to be less thick, which means that it will better saturate the cake cakes, making it more juicy.
