  • You can use all-purpose flour instead of cornflour, that was what chefs and pastry use in the past, you may need to cook a bit longer, just check carefully the consistency.

  • This looks delicious! I am in Russia, and I am not sure about being able to obtain cornflour. Would it alter the consistency of the custard if I were to use just regular all-purpose flour? Thank you :)
