Start by whisking the eggs with the sugar until you're made a soft cream. Next add the flour carefully, but by bit to avoid the formation of lumps. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring the whole time to keep the lumps away. Per your own preference, you can add lemon rind or vanilla essence to the mixture for an additional kick.

Next, heat the mixture over a low flame, and keep mixing until you have achieved a smooth consistency. Now it's ready to go in another dessert or served alongside or on top of other delicious snacks.
