Doing well, TSS. I'll be doing Cook from the Cupboard from 17 June to 26 July.

You don't need custard powder to make custard. You need eggs, milk (cream if you want it richer), sugar and vanilla. If you want to go easy on the eggs, use a bit of cornflour for thickening.
Whisk the eggs and milk together, add sugar and vanilla and heat at a medium heat stirring regularly. If you're using cornflour mix it with a bit of cold milk and add slowly to the mixture at the end of the cooking process, stirring until the mix is the consistency you want.
At its purest, it's sweet scrambled eggs, but not lumpy.

Hi Dad

Actually worked that out after flicking through The Destitute Gourmet and finding a recipe there. Like Duh! of course the Edmonds' Cookbook will say to use custard powder - they sell the stuff so they're hardly going to give away the fact you don't need it are they? :-)
