I have often wanted custard with apple crumble but me and my mother doesnt eat a heck of a lot of custard so we dont bother with custard powder however i am thinking if i make egg custard then i can make it as needed or any other method and also one that dont need cream on hand

Buy a carton of custard and store it in your pantry. I also like a carton of cream, in my pantry.

Egg custard is very easy to make ...

For each cup of custard you need -
1 cup milk, 1 Tblspn cornflour, 1 egg, 1 tsp sugar, vanilla to taste

Heat most of the milk in a double boiler or a bowl over a pot of boiling water. Blend the cornflour with the remaining milk, add a little of the hot milk, then return to the boiler and stir for 1 minute. remove from heat and allow to cool. Beat egg and sugar together and add to the milk. return to the heat and cook, stirring all the time until custard thickens. Stir in the vanilla.
This recipe also works in the microwave.
