basics custard

I'm not a fan of powdered custard unless it's made for me but I do love the Co-ops value and Tesco value tinned custard. They are both creamy and tasty. Hth

bring to the boil slowly stirring until it thickens up and pour into a pyrex jug.
simples and cheap as chips
never had tinned custard in my life so couldn't comment

I normally use birds, but am on a super budget this month. I opeted for the BGTY range one. Ready made, as the last 3 times i've made t he powdered stuff i can't get it to thicken up!

We quite like Tesco value custard, 6p a pack, last time I bought it. I make it up with milk instead of water and sometimes add a couple of drops of vanilla extract or essence.

Sainsburies Basics Tinned Custard gets another recommendation from me.
