Eek! I looked for how to make custard because I've been watching a lot of cooking shows lately and I feel like I stumbled on a celebrity's channel because I loved you on Britain's Best Home Cook 😆 great job, thank you ♡

I just made it and it reminded me of my childhood in England. I even made an apple crumble to go with it. Honestly I could eat it all by itself. Thank you for making my life better. Can’t get tins or powdered custard here in Louisiana

My mother would make a meringue in a fancy aluminum tin with peaks. Piece of meringue, custard, strawberries from a tin(freezer section of market, and whipped cream on top. The whites would be put to use, straight away, that way.

Top tip, I always use a slotted flat metal spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan constantly to check it isn't sticking.

@@KatieHomeCook Ah yes, I can see how that would be an 'issue'. I have the same problem with my wife scrubbing my cast iron pans. 😮💨 I use a heavy bottom stainless steel risotto pan on a low heat for custard. Thin pan bottoms tend to burn custard I find.
nice, simple, perfect. (just would pour through a strainer before sending it back into the pot to thicken)

My Mum made me some crumble but I don't have anything to go with it so this is perfect! Can I use whole eggs instead? I don't really have any use for the whites and would hate to waste them. Thanks for the recipe!

No I wouldn’t recommend it, just the yolks, you could freeze the whites in a zip lock bag, until you have a use?
My custard goes too frothy 😅 how can I prevent that? Lovely recipe x

Thank you for the recipe, I have never made a custard from scratch. Could you please tell how long to whisk the eggs for? Does the custard have eggy flavor?

If it before the milk just until you form a paste, and no eggy taste, all custard is made with eggs

Cornflour is not required. Use Cream, cream fats will be the thickener.
