We had many requests for a custard recipe but we knew that most of those who were requesting it, expected us to use custard powder. Unless you are allergic to eggs or have other dietary concerns, there is no reason not to make custard from scratch. It is easy, has very few ingredients, and tastes infinitely better.

Custard is a very versatile dessert that is delicious both hot and cold. It also tastes great at room temperature. One of the things we like about this recipe is the many variations you could make by tweaking the ingredients. If you greatly reduce the cornstarch, or eliminate it altogether, and serve the custard hot, you will have an amazing drink for a cold winter night. It is also a soothing drink to have when you have a cold and need a hot cup of something. Add some good dark chocolate and it becomes even better.

Since we use different types of flavouring, we never tire of having custard. We use vanilla beans, milk steeped with orange rind, or with cinnamon, ginger root, and cloves. We also use cardamom and garnish the custard with chopped nuts. Then there are days when we just like to have our custard plain without any flavouring. Scoop the custard over a bowl of fruit salad and it becomes a very fulfilling dessert.
