Homemade custard for a trifle?!
I much prefer the taste of my own homemade custard than any packet or powdered variety, but it doesn't set like the pre-made kinds when I'm making a trifle!.
I don't have the recipe to hand to say what I use and how I make it, but I wondered if anyone just generally has some tips of how to make homemade custard that sets!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
