How to adjust the consistency
- Medium: suited to cakes, cold tarts and sponge cake.
- Balanced mix: stable structure and a less floury mouthfeel.
- If it runs too much, increase the starches by 10-15%. If it is too gummy, reduce the starch and cook less aggressively.
Classica per bigne, crostate, farciture base. Cooking: heat the milk with vanilla, mix the yolks with sugar and starches, pour in the hot milk, return to the heat and cook to 82-84 C, stirring continuously.
