We should call your kitchen "Judy's Test Kitchen."
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

I'd love to work in a test kitchen cookie  :D :D   It's fun if you have someone who will eat the food  ;)

If my cold custard is too thick, I just whisk in some milk or cream to make it pourable.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Seriously, try the TMX creme anglaise recipe. Utterly delisios. You'll have to make a pav to go with it though as it uses 6 egg yolks.

Hi,
I have just posted a custard recipe that might suit if your children have allergies.
I haven't tried it with the honey, only sugar! Also I have no idea what consistency it is cold as it hasn't made it that far in my house.
I hope it helps you all the same.
Sarah :)
