Thread: syn free custard

Hi, can anyone tell me if custard and baked egg custards made for milk from allowance, egg and sweetener would be syn free, there doesn't seem to be any syn free recipes out there for these and i just fancy custard.

I'm sure they would be, get a vanilla pod to make it more vanillary . Eggs, skimmed milk, sweetner and vanilla pod, all free or HE A. x

Just found it on a trifle thread:

Silly question, new to baking, but what is bain marie?

It's a tin with water in the bottom that you use in the oven to give moisture to whatever you're cooking and prevent it from burning. Basically, you make up the custard mix in an oven proof dish, put it in a larger heatproof container (such as a roasting tin) and half-fill the larger container with water.

great I'm def going to try both recipes. x

Mmm...sounds yum! : )
