Baskets with egg cream

Baskets with cream "Egg custard tart" (the original name of the dish) is literally translated as "Egg cream pie". Such a dessert is necessarily present on the Christmas table in every English family, where they honor their national traditions. But due to their popularity, these modest-looking baskets can be bought in any bakery all year round. They say that they were served at the birthday of Queen Elizabeth II herself, who very much respects family values. The formula can not be considered native English, because the very principle of pouring a gentle cream dough was invented by the French. Although, by and large, both cuisines are European, and in many ways related.
