Crème anglaise without flour is smooth, velvety and very easy to prepare, perfect for accompanying desserts without the risk of lumps.
The crema inglese is clearly a “rather liquid” sauce that cannot be used as a filling for cakes or similar, but only to accompany small sweets and cookies.
The slight thickness that develops during cooking comes from the egg yolks which, when cooked at a low temperature (not exceeding 180°/185° F), coagulate with a technique called “a rosa”. The cooking temperature of crème anglaise is crucial to prevent it from breaking.
Crème anglaise is a basic pastry recipe, delicate, velvety and tasty, which only requires a little extra attention to avoid losing its fluidity and becoming “stracciatella” like the stracciatella or minestra del paradiso!
I suggest other cream recipes more suitable for filling cakes such as:
NO-COOK MILK AND VANILLA CREAM
MASCARPONE CREAM
LEMON CREAM

CRÈME ANGLAISE RECIPE WITHOUT FLOUR
- Difficulty: Easy
- Cost: Very affordable
- Preparation time: 2 Minutes
- Cooking time: 5 Minutes
- Portions: for about 9 fl oz (about 1 1/8 cups) of custard
- Cooking methods: Stovetop
- Cuisine: Italian
- Seasonality: All seasons
Ingredients FOR CRÈME ANGLAISE RECIPE WITHOUT FLOUR
- 1 cup milk (I used Alta Qualità Granarolo)
- 2 medium egg yolks (Le Naturelle (yellow yolk variety))
- 7 tbsp sugar
- 1 1/3 teaspoon vanilla extract (I used Pan degli Angeli)
Tools FOR CRÈME ANGLAISE RECIPE WITHOUT FLOUR
- Plastic wrap
- Spatulas
PREPARATION FOR CRÈME ANGLAISE RECIPE WITHOUT FLOUR
Put the milk in a small saucepan and bring it over medium heat, almost to a boil.
Add the vanilla extract and stir into the liquid.
Mix the yolks well with the sugar but do not whip them with beaters; a simple spoon is enough.
Pour in the hot milk and return the pan to low heat.
Keep stirring constantly and continue to stir the custard, letting it gently thicken.
It will only take a few minutes and pay close attention because one second too long and the custard will turn into an irreparably scrambled mixture to be thrown away!
Now turn off the heat and let it cool while stirring a little more…
Then place plastic wrap directly on the surface and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Delicious, creamy and therefore suitable for all preparations…
Enjoy your meal!
