cook it low and keep stirring it, thats what I find I have to do unless someone else here is more on to it without saying...microwave it or buy it in the box lol

I always do mine in a BIG glass pyrex jug in the microwave. I think microwaves were invented for this reason !

Same.Once the milk and sugar is almost boiling, take it out and quickly pour all of your custard powder mix and in stir well until it thickens.The heat of the milk will cook the custard.(No need to pop back in microwave).If not hot enough, there will be a 'floury' texture.If so, cook it a little longer.

Stir constantly, custard from scratch is amazing and worth the effort!

I agree too with microwave method, I would never go back to the stove method.I use a large whisk to beat it.

Easy for those who have a microwave....It's Seameal custard I was making....Plus I use a copper-based saucepan....Thanks for all your tips...:-}

I always rinse the saucepan with cold water first and don't dry it.Then pour the hot milk into the custard mix and stir (this prevents lumps) and then pour it back into the saucepan and stir it constantly as it re-heats and thickens.Only burns if the gas or element is too high.

I make seameal custard in a pot. Mix 2 Tablespoons ofSeameal Custardto a smooth paste with a small amount of milk taken from 600ml.Add the remaining milk and mix.Bring to the boil, stirring constantly.Remove from heat and stand the pan in cold water for 5 minutes, then pour custard into serving dishes.Refrigerate until set.

use a whisk, cook slowly and don't stop stirring it
