How do you make custard

I follow the directions on the custard box yet I always get a thick and lumpy custard. Why can’t I get smooth flowing yummy custard like everyone else???

Re: How do you make custard

u might be adding too much custard powder ....??...
to avoid lumps in custard,when u add the cold milk+custard powder to the boiling milk,keep on constantly stirring,otherwise it will get lumpy...
whilst cooking try to keep it thin because it will thicken itself when it cools down....:)

I think I am adding too much powder. Yeahh.

Re: How do you make custard

Ya best just buying Ambrosia's ready made custard; pour out of can, heat for 2 mins and serve. ...jobs a good'un.

Re: How do you make custard

Also don't add the custard mixture at once but slowly and keep stirring. I remember my mom used to stir it with whisk.

Re: How do you make custard

What do you serve the custard with? Any ideas aside from custard and pound cake?

Re: How do you make custard

sumtimes i buy custard powder but it doesnt match my cheffing standards so i make my own with corn flour

so the trick is

when u pour the powder and milk solution in the boiling milk just turn the heat a lil bit low before adding the mixture and keep stirring

it wont get clumpy

and yeah turn the flame off when its lil bit flowy then u actually want it

it gets thcker when it cools down
