    This is just what I needed! My great grandmother, born in 1905, used to make custard over toast as a special treat when I was a child. I have been wanting to make it, but every time I googled custard over toast, a yogurt custard would pop up. Her custard was exactly like your second custard. Thanks so much!

    We are a lactose intolerant household so we’ve always paid a huge premium for pre-made lactose free and dairy free custards. We’ve tried the powdered base custards but they always taste so powdery so matter how you make them.
    It was so lovely to be able to learn how to make my own custard that as a bonus, also wouldn’t have my household spend the day in pain.
    Thank you so much!

    Hi from England
    I love all types of custard.
    I love cooking - it has been my therapy through covid lockdown in England. My maternal grandmother was born in Ireland and came to United Kingdom in 1901 and was a great cook as my late mother learned to cook and so have i learnt to cook
    My custard i make is Mascarpone Custard. I use this when making my trifle. Trifles are a traditional English thing at Christmas

    Thanks, this type of video is very useful. It enables the viewer the ability to create instead of just to consume recipes and imitate. I really feel like I understand now the basics of custard. I tried the first baked custard and it turned out pretty well. I just now know the ratios and can do whatever I need with it, just super good. Thanks a lot.

    Thank you Chef! I LOVE custard . Most of my favorite desserts are custard based. Even the wonderfully yummy pecan pie, pumpkin pie and the all time favorite Boston Cream pie. You can't have an awesome dessert without all that European influence.
    Oh and my very first Flan was perfect but now they all get watery , including my bread puddings. How sad, But not my eclairs. They are divine. Would be very sad if that turned out watery. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    This has been helpful beyond belief, I've been trying to make icecream by watching various tutorials and struggled with the thickening part, however, everyone says to stop at 75C and my creme doesn't seem to thicken enough unless im using additives like banana or strawberries which will obviously increase the viscosity, I'll be taking it to 82 next time and seeing if I notice a difference
