Preparing the cream
8. Bring the remaining milk to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Then pour the previously prepared egg mixture into the hot milk in a thin stream. Stir the contents of the pan constantly. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the custard for about a few more minutes, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken. After the custard part of the cream has thickened enough, remove the pan from the heat and cover it with cling film. Cool the cream to room temperature. Then add the butter and stir until light and airy.
