Birds Instant Custard

why I love England #13:   Birds custard

It’s here , its   now and it’s not just for the birds.    In the US I  made my custard from egg yolks, caster sugar, cream, vanilla  and cornflour according to Delia Smith.   This involved time, skill and concentrtion. In the UK I get instant gratification from birds.  

Luxury.

    The British Pantry in Redmond have Bird’s custard powder, so while it would have cost you a lot more than in the UK, you could have saved yourself the hassle of making it from scratch :)

    Just crying out for some apple crumble. Which I do bake, so why do I use instant custard?
