Mix 4 yolks and 5 table spoons of sugar, than add 6 table spoons of flower and 2 packets of vanilla sugar. Add about 150 ml of cold milk to the mix. Put 850 ml of milk and 1 butter stick (115grams) in deep dish and bring to boil.
Add egg mix to that boiling milk, decrease the heat to 3-4 (low medium). (must be low heat otherwise the bottom part will burn!) Beat 4 egg whites until solid cream and slowly add to milk-yolk mix and mix with mixer briefly. The cream should be smooth.
Place 'petite beure' biscuits in a square dish, pour hot cream on and lay another layer of biscuits on the top.
