Frequently Asked Questions

How do I keep the custard smooth?

Mix the custard powder with cold milk until there are no lumps, then pour it into the boiling milk while stirring continuously. Stop cooking as soon as it turns thick and creamy.

How long should bread custard chill before serving?

Chill it for at least 2 hours. This lets the bread soak up the custard and cream so the layers set and slice neatly.
