Isaiah 43:1
Hello friends, have you ever wondered what the ingredients are in the custard powder that you buy from store? If not, now you do. I had always thought that the only way of making custard was using custard powder and i never bothered to read the ingredient list printed on the side of the packet until i visited one of my friends. I was there for lunch and she served fruit salad for dessert . It was so creamy and smooth and delicious, i couldn't resist asking for one more cup. I asked her which brand she used for the custard powder and to my surprise she said she never buys custard powder but she has her own way of making custard, which she explained. Thereafter custard powder has never been on my grocery list. Homemade custard recipe uses only ingredients that you always have at home. Below i have written how to easily make custard without custard powder.

TIPS:
- You can completely avoid flour. But make sure that the temperature of the mixture does not exceed 185 degrees otherwise you will have scrambled egg in milk. You can cook over a double boiler to maintain a low temperature.
- Make the custard more creamy by increasing the count of egg yolks to 3 or 4 and also by melting two tablespoons of unsalted butter into the hot custard.
