I made your egg custard yesterday. I cheated a bit and used a bought pastry case. :-)
Mr T had a piece this morning and I took some for my Dad earlier on. Both of them said it was lovely and at first my dad refused to believe that I had actually made it. So, thank you for that. A resounding success. xxx
Yes Tilly, vanilla just adds to the flavour. there is an orange custard,

Glad it worked well for you. I as a large very blokey looking bloke have come up against disbelief for my cakes and desserts.
