- Sprinkle the flour over the ingredients in the pan and stir until incorporated.
- Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, until you obtain a homogeneous cream.
- Incorporate the heavy cream and continue stirring until it becomes very creamy.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the filling thickens.
