custard powder recipe | how to make homemade custard flour | basic eggless custard with step by step photo and video recipe. there are numerous recipes derived from the custard powder and are liked by everyone for its creamy texture. these powders are generally store bought as most of us assume that it must be complicated and best produced using heavy machinery. however, with this post, i would like to decode it and post a homemade basic custard powder recipe.

i have posted a lot of custard recipes till now in my blog, and i was getting a lot of requests to post a basic custard powder recipe. moreover, the store-bought are generally expensive for the minimal set of ingredients it contains. hence i thought of posting this basic recipe with the available ingredients at home. in other words, i have used the combination of powdered sugar, cornflour and milk powder for this recipe. however, the store-bought contains more ingredient like wheat maize and artificial flavour enhancer. moreover, some even have egg in it, to provide more creaminess. particularly, these ingredients are not required for a basic one and hence i have skipped it to make a basic homemade custard flour.

furthermore, i would like to highlight some more important tips, suggestions and variations to homemade custard flour. firstly, even though the sugar and milk powder is a key ingredient for this flour. but the corn starch or corn flour plays a major role in this recipe. it helps to thicken the custard milk and achieves more creaminess. secondly, you may experiment with the flavours you add to it. i have used a basic vanilla extract, but you may also add strawberry essence or cocoa powder for a chocolate flavour. for strawberry, you may need to add red food colour and vanilla essence for cocoa powder. lastly, you need to store this in an airtight container for a longer and better shelf life.
