- The dough must be thin and elastic. I finished kneading it by hand and had to add a little more flour, until the dough no longer sticks in my hands, or it detaches from the bowl.
- We will leave the dough resting in a bowl greased with a little oil.
- We cover it with a cloth and let it rest at room temperature, 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until it doubles in volume.

- With the rest of the milk, mix the egg yolks and the starch, stir with a whisk until no lumps remain.
- When the milk begins to boil, we will add the mixture of the yolks, we stir, when it begins to boil we leave it one more minute that it will have already thickened and we will remove it from the heat.
