What is Custard and How to Make Custard Powder
To make your own custard powder you’ll need powdered milk, corn starch, vanilla sugar, and powdered yellow food coloring (optional).
Ingredients
- 1 cup of powdered milk
- ½ cup corn starch
- 1 ½ tablespoons of vanilla sugar
- ¼ teaspoon of powdered food coloring (optional).
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients in a food processor and blend for 10 seconds before transferring to an airtight container.
- When you’re ready to made the custard, use ½ cup of custard powder for every 2 cups of fresh milk. If you prefer a sweeter custard, add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar to taste. Heat the custard over medium-low heat as you would with store-bought custard powder.
Notes
If you’re unable to find vanilla sugar, you can easily make it yourself. Simply blend vanilla bean seeds or good quality vanilla extract with granulated sugar in a high-powered blender.
