Cooking

In a small saucepan or thick-bottomed pot, combine 20 g of flour and 100 ml of milk.
Whisk thoroughly until all lumps are completely dissolved and a smooth, liquid mixture is formed.
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and stir constantly with a whisk or spatula.
Cook the mixture until it thickens (to approximately 149°F), until it reaches the consistency of pudding or thick porridge.
Remove the tangzhong from the heat, transfer it to a separate container, and cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface ('in contact') to prevent a crust from forming.
Cool the cooked paste to room temperature before adding it to the main dough.
