Step 1

Measure 3 tbsp Custard Powder and 2 tbsp Sugar into a medium sized mixing bowl.

Step 2

Pour in a little of 500ml Milk and mix until the powder and sugar makes a paste.

Step 3

And a little more milk to make a looser liquid.

Step 4

Pour the rest of the milk in and whisk until fully combined. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to make sure there is no paste or powder left unmixed.

Step 5

Note – You can do this using a large microwave proof measuring jug. Just fill the jug to just over 500ml when adding the milk.

Step 6

Microwave on high for 3 minutes.

Step 7

Take the bowl out the microwave and give the custard a whisk.

Step 8

Microwave on high for a further 2 minutes. The custard should be at least partially thickened by now – whisk it all together again so it all one texture.

Step 9

Keep microwaving on high in 30 second bursts and whisking again each time until your preferred thickness. If it is very nearly where you want it, reduce to 10 seconds per time.

Step 10

Serve as desired.
