📝 Preparation Steps
1
add the flour and water to a medium-sized pot, and whisk until it becomes smooth and combined like a slurry.

Next, whisk in the milk until it is combined.

Transfer the pot to a cooktop burner over low heat and continually whisk.

It will take about 7 to ⏱️ 10 minutes for the mixture to become a thick, smooth paste. Think of a thick version of cream of wheat. It should get to 149°.

Remove the tangzhong pot from the cooktop and let it sit until it’s cooled to room temperature, which takes about ⏱️ 30 minutes. Use or store.
