Vanilla Custard Powder

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Keep away from moisture to prevent clumping.

Whisk the powder with a small amount of cold milk or water first to create a smooth paste before adding to hot liquid. This prevents lumps.

For a richer flavor, replace some or all of the liquid with milk instead of water.

Adjust the amount of powder to achieve your desired thickness.

Adding the powder directly to hot liquid without making a paste first, which can lead to a lumpy custard.

Overheating the custard after it thickens, which can cause it to break or become grainy.
