Custard powder from Foster Clark's in a 300 g tin, for smooth pouring custard, trifles, fruit custard and tart fillings.
Foster Clark's Custard Powder comes in a blue 300 g tin with the gold-rimmed Foster Clark's logo, marked Since 1889, and a picture of smooth yellow custard poured over a bowl of mixed fruit with strawberries and kiwi. A small green badge sits on the front of the tin. As general background, custard is traditionally sweetened milk or cream thickened with egg, but some traditional recipes are thickened principally with cornflour instead, and the name is also used for starch-thickened custard powders. To make pouring custard, mix the powder and a little sugar into a smooth paste with some cold milk, then whisk it into hot milk and stir until it thickens. Pour it warm over sponge puddings and crumbles, chill it in layers for trifle, fold it with chopped fresh fruit for fruit custard, or use a thicker batch as a tart filling.
