Last night while covering Cookidoo, recipe inspo, meal planning, shopping lists I finished my little part by showing everyone how to make custard from scratch. No custard powder. No additives. No preservatives. Less sugar. Pure vanilla bean paste!
Simple step by step guide through the whole recipe - scales weighing straight into the bowl. So easy! Set and forget - no stirring, burning or lumps. Not one!!
But we also explored recipe scaling.
More and more recipes have this available - leave as is, scale up or scale down π
So many people we talk to lately are cooking for random numbers of people each night so being able to adjust the portions is an absolute winner!! Prevents the same leftovers all week but it also makes is super easy to double a recipe the week after if there are extra mouths to feed πππ
