No matter how simple our way of cooking is, there are preparations that we must know. Today we are going to focus a little on the English cream Although it is not a dessert in itself, it is a preparation widely used in confectionery. It will be the basis for developing, for example, a Bavarian, creamy ice creams and delicious cakes.

It is made from natural and very everyday ingredients such as milk, sugar and egg yolks. Some ingredient that provides aroma is also used, such as vanilla, cinnamon, orange peel or lemon. Although there are also more innovative versions such as lavender or thyme. At first glance we may believe that it is a simple custard or pastry cream but this is not the case since crème anglaise is lighter, which is why it is used for other preparations because it gives it texture and flavor soft.
