Instructions:
First, place the flour in a deep bowl to prepare the dough. Next, add the necessary amount of salt and sugar to the recipe. Then, grate the cold butter using a grater and add it to the mixture. Mix everything well until it resembles a “sandy crumb” texture.
After that, transfer the crumbs to a saucepan and heat over low heat. Stir constantly to toast the crumbs until golden brown, being careful not to burn them. This process will take approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
Then, put the sugar in a non-stick saucepan and add the egg yolks. The egg whites will not be used in this recipe. Add the milk (any fat content is fine) and beat everything with a mixer. Next, add the flour and beat again until the mixture is smooth.
Place the saucepan on the stove over low heat and cook the cream, stirring constantly, until it thickens. This process should take about 6 to 10 minutes. Once the desired consistency is reached, turn off the heat and let the cream cool.
When the crumbs and cream are cold, start assembling the desserts. Begin by placing 2 tablespoons of the crumbs into glass cups or bowls. Then add 2 tablespoons of the cream. Repeat the layers, alternating between crumbs and cream, until the cups are filled. Finally, refrigerate for about 1 hour. Finish by serving the desserts decorated to your taste.
