Do you make your own egg custard, PenguinMad? I'm not particularly a custard fan, but real egg custard (made of course with fresh eggs from my garden!) is totally something else and totally yummy.

 

I'm an 'on the side' - or better still 'after I've eaten the crumble'!!

Oh I agree Ginette - I made a thick 'proper' custard one day to use up some eggs - it was heavenly :drool::drool::drool:

Drowning in it, of course! What's the point in custard, otherwise? :?

 

And preferably a thickish layer of fruit and an equal layer of CRUNCHY crumble (I eat it so fast it doesn't get a chance to go soggy!) I always add porridge oats to my crumble mix.

 

mmmmm. I might have to make apple crumble tomorrow ... please can someone post a poll about salads and beansprouts, it might make me suddenly get an urge to eat them!

Do you have them with custard then? On the side or all over.....?

 

On the side of my crumble please.......I can't stand soggy anything & when crumble goes soggy in custard I can't eat it.....!

 

"Siders" are ahead again!!!

:) I have been known to get up and make custard in the middle of the night, when under extreme pressure. A habit shared by the late Princess Diana, apparently.

 

I have been notably unsuccessful in making custard out of eggs, though. Does anyone have a good recipe? I mean the pouring sort, not the baked egg custard sort - it just never goes thick enough when I've tried, and so I stick to Birds.

I love my custard on top.

 

I actually made fresh custard a couple of days ago for the first time ever for a rhubard fool. It was so easy I don't know why I haven't done it before! Olly; I can't remember exact amounts, but I brought a carton of cream to the boil. Mixed together egg yolks, caster sugar and a spoonful of flour. Pour on the cream mixing with a whisk then poured it back into the pan and stirred till thickened, which didn't take very long at all. It was rather yum :drool::D
