3. then add remainder of milk oh so gradually, whisking…
4. Place over pretty high heat….stirring constantly….watch the temp….check the bottom of pan as not to stick…..cook until it thickens….about 10 min.
5. cool, stirring occasionally to prevent a skim forming on top…add vanilla.
6. Pour this cream over the éclair cake, and let set in refrigator for at least 6 hours.
