MAKING CUSTARD (Custard Powder)

Lets make some yummy custard,  and let's just suppose you have a microwave oven.  If you do then this will be very very simple and fool proof.  This never fails.  If there is some left over it is fine the next day also even if the custard has solidified a little more.

 

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons of Custard Powder
1 large tablespoon of white sugar
2 tablespoons of milk for mixing
500 mls of milk

Method:

Mix together the custard powder and sugar with a little milk to make a nice consistency to pour into the rest of the milk which is in a microwave proof jug and mix this in thoroughly.

Place in the microwave for 3 minutes .. take out stir well and replace in the mic again for a further 3 minutes.  As the custard cools it will become thicker. 
If you want thicker custard for cooking purposes or for making trifle, simply increase the amount of custard powder used.

The traditional way of making custard with egg yolks is fun, however with rising prices and the lack of available funds and chook's in the backyard being a thing of the past; I decided to tell you about this simple custard and the ease at which you may satisfy a sweet tooth at a late ungodly hour!
