Since Premier Foods took over the brand a few years ago, those packets of instant custard are hard to find in the UK.

If you read the article it tells you where she tried to buy it.

I have experienced no problems purchasing said item on a regular basis from the well known supermarkets inc Tesco .

Can't you make custard then?
Question Author
Yep - but the instant stuff is so convenient .

Anything for an easy life - dont you think ?
Well said Ethel, lets face it, real custard isn't hard to make,

What do you girls consider to be real custard? The original Birds powder was considered a convenience originally. Milk eggs and flour are what is needed.
Well, you can call me a girl if you wish sandmaster, not a problem, but for real custard, I have to say, you have it just about right, Birds is an imitation, nothing more.

Actually, Sandmaster, you don't need flour for a custard sauce. You need eggs, cream or milk and a little sugar. If you add flour you're making confectioner's custard, which is used as a filling for sweet tarts and the like. You CAN use a bit of flour if you're a scaredy cat and think that your custard might curdle, but it's hard to rid the custard of a slight yucky taste without boiling it if you do. Myself, I was taught to make it at cookery school without.
