Step by step recipe
1. First, let's make the cake custard.
Pour 250 ml of milk into a saucepan and put on fire. While the milk is boiling, prepare the rest of the cream.
2. Pour 3 tablespoons into a bowl. flour, 100 g sugar, 10 g vanilla sugar. Mix all dry ingredients a little.
3. Add 1 yolk to this, we don't need egg white in this recipe. Pour 250 ml of milk and mix everything well with a whisk so that there are no lumps.
4. The milk has already boiled, pour the prepared mixture into it, while constantly stirring. Cook the custard base over low heat, stirring with a whisk, until thickened. It is imperative to stir so that nothing burns.
When the custard base for the cream thickens and begins to boil, remove it from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.

9. We transfer the dried pieces of pita bread to the grinder and grind into crumbs.

Grease the bottom of the dish with some cream so that the cake does not slide on the dish.
