Directions:

  1. Place sugar, egg yolks flour, lemon rind (if using it), and vanilla in a sauce pan and mix together well.
  2. In a separate sauce pan, scald milk.
  3. Very slowly pour milk over egg yolk mixture, in a thin stream, beating constantly with rotary beater.
  4. Continue cooking on low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until mixture reaches the boiling point.
  5. Cook 4 minutes longer, stirring constantly.
  6. (**At this point, if making chocolate pasticciera cream, add chocolate and while stirring, cook 1 minute longer.) Remove pan from heat, add butter and mix well.
  7. Pour into bowl and let cool, stir occasionally to prevent skin from forming over the top.
