English Cream is a basic preparation of pastry. Similar to custard, this type of cream is characterized by the absence of starches in its recipe. This detail makes it particularly light and fluid because eggs only thicken it. However, it requires a higher level of attention in the preparation to avoid that the egg may separate from the mass.
