Custard powder
« on: September 18, 2010, 05:47:32 am »
Thankyou to everyone who has replied to my question re GF pizza dough. I have had my TM for a few weeks now and loving it. Can I ask another (dumb) question. I have made wonderful custard out of the EDC especially as I have a lemon tree and need to use up lemons at the moment. I am guilty though of having some opened packets of custard powder in the pantry and how can I use these up to make custard in the TM just to get rid of them or should I just give them the flick and be ashamed of admitting that I used to be a custard powder user????

I have posted a recipe for Lemon Curd which has custard powder in it.  We like this one as it has no butter.

Merlin you are not an orphan, the only custard I could make prior to TMX was with custard powder,

If you don't have a "health" issue with using custard powder, then I would just replace the cornflour with custard powder in the recipe

or use it up in some biscuits, muffins etc if you don't want to give it the flick

I have used custard powder in the past to give a nice flavour to butter or vanilla cakes also add a bit to waffle mix to make them extra tasty. I will admit that I haven’t used custard powder since I found out about all the nasty’s that are in it. I would be wary about giving it to children with all the additives.

In this instance Cookie I went to the home page & typed custard powder in the search space. Any postings with the word custard or powder will come up so you just browse through until you see the 2 words together which is what you are looking for. Give it a try and see what I mean. :-* :-*

Search hint
if you type "Custard Powder" in inverted comma's then it will put the two words together.

Thanks everyone.
I currently use the Orgran brand custard powder and I also normally buy organic produce especially gluten free products from a fantastic gluten free health store we have in Ormond in Melbourne or Thomas Dux stores. I am normally very careful about additives etc especially when it comes to feeding the kids but I also abhor wasting food so that is why i wanted to see if I could use the custard powder for anything else. Also, as all of you coeliacs out there or those on a gluten free diet know, GF products are normally much more expensive than nonGF products so it seems a shame to waste it if I can use it for other things.
I actually tried the suggestion of replacing the cornflour with the custard powder (the same amount as in the recipe) and it worked out really well.
