wanting to make a sponge log for a cake stall, would like to use mock cream - have tried many mock cream recipies before and none turn out like store bought stuff. TIA

In double boiler: Heat remainder of milk, gradually stir in flour mix. Heat to boiling point. Stir in sugar, salt, butter and egg yolk. Cook over water for 5mins.

2 Tbls butter, 2 Tbls sugar, 2 Tbls boiling water. Put ingredients into a bowl and beat until thick like cream.If the mixture curdles, keep on beating until smooth.That's the only way I've ever made it and it's like bought stuff.=)

I used to make one called washed cream.Recipe is in one of the Australian Women's Weekly cookbooks, can't remember which one.

I worked in a bakery many years ago, and we used Delicia as an ingredient in making mock cream.I've never seen it for sale to the public.We got it in 10 litre pails.It tasted exactly the same as the mock cream found in donuts at my local bakery, so I presume its still used or similar.
