Ingredient of the week: Custard

Food
 Custard has a smooth, milky, sweet, warm flavour (Photo: Shutterstock)

Pineapple upside down cake is incomplete without the smooth, milky, sweet with the warm robust flavour of custard. I remember always looking forward to the treat of pineapple upside down cake with loads of custard. 

On a wet rainy day or night, custard will warm up and on a hot day, cool you down. Eaten hot or cold, made from scratch or powder, custard is a good source of energy, protein and calcium from the ingredients used to make it; egg yolk, milk, sugar and vanilla. 

Homemade recipe: Whisk together until combined egg yolks, corn flour and sugar. In a pan, heat milk and vanilla until warm (not hot). Remove from heat, add corn-egg-sugar mixture, return to heat, whisk until it comes to a boil. Serve hot or cold with cake, fruits or ice cream You can also buy custard powder in supermarkets from Sh75 for 250g to Sh300 for 500g. For the custard powder recipe, follow instructions on packaging. ?
