No Magentasue I guarantee it's CREME PATISSERIE (it's from an Italian/french recipe book).
Yes, it should go thick but the taste is different from custard.
Sorry the heat should be gentle.I forgot to say thathalf scottish half italian :100%moneysaver0 -

No,no, I know it's not a recipe for custard - I just meant that heating the milk and eggs sounds like custard and so you have to be careful of curdling. I think creme patisserie is just a thickened custard for fillings - will try it later! Thanks for the recipe.:beer:0 -

Magentasue Have you made you creme?Did you like it?half scottish half italian :100%moneysaver0

Yes and no! Made it and tried it out on kids. Not impressed, even after I added some chocolate. So I whizzed up some digestive biscuits and melted some butter and have made chocolate creme pie. Will see how that goes down for pudding tomorrow!0

When I've made it in the past I've used far more egg yolks, and cornflour rather then normal flour, so I wonder if that would make a difference
I'll see if I can find the recipe I used to use and post back
Ok, here you go ...
Creme Patissiere
280ml milk
vanilla pod
25g plain flour
2 teaspoons cornflour
4 egg-yolks
60g caster sugar
Pour milk into pan, adding seeds from split vanilla pod, and bring to boil.
Whisk egg-yolks and sugar together, then stir in cornflour and flour.
When milk is ready whisk it very slowly into egg mix.
Pour into clean pan and bring slowly to boil over low heat, until thickened.
Simmer it for a minute and then allow it to cool.
Cover it with cling-film to prevent a skin from forming."An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"

I make this most weeks for my family - and my work colleagues!
8oz bread (I make this into breadcrumbs in the food processor)
1/2 pint water
Approx 2oz orange juice (Value orange juice)
1 egg
2 large tbs mixed spice
6oz mixed fruit
4oz sugar
2oz melted margarine
cinnamon (to sprinke on top before cooked)
Sugar (to sprinkle on top when it comes out of the oven)
Pour water and orange juice over the breadcrumbs and leave for about 10minutes so that it gets soaked in.
Add other ingredients and mix together.
When mixed together pour into a greased tin (I usually use a roasting tray as I use triple the ingredients - but use a small rectangular dish if you're using the quantity above)
Sprinkle the cinnamon over the mixture.
Cook for approx 1 hour at 150c/gas 4
When cooked sprinkle the sugar on top whilst the pudding is still hot.
You can eat this with custard, icecream or as a cake. Either way it finds it way to my hips!
