What can you use instead of Custard Powder

Thanks Ceejay, I have never heard of it. Can you get it from the health shops??

I would try with cornflour vanilla and an egg yolk for the colour.

Yes or even many local supermarkets.

If you have trouble there just ask Orgran for local stockists!

I had thought of that too Shayla, but I do try to steer away from as much egg as possible too as DS4 has an egg allergy...he is managing to tolerate very small amounts periodically. They say he doesn't have an allergy and yet when they test him they are blown away with the results. Has happened 3 times now

It could be that he is allergic to the egg white and not the yolks. My housekeeper had an allergy to eggs and could only tolerate if totally cooked ie in a cake - after about 15 years she can suddenly eat eggs again - also when tested they said she didn't have an egg allergy -these things can be very strange.

Have you tried the Orgran custard mix?

My youngest has an egg allergy so I use this one.

Looks like that link no longer works...
Try this one instead. You can buy it online, or in health food stores and also in some supermarkets.

Just to say I use cornflour and vanilla instead of custard powder.
