poser, if it's the colouring in custard powder that you are concerned about I suggest that you use cornflour instead but you will need to add flavouring - custard powder is basically cornflour with added flavour and colouring.
Hope that helps.:-))

Many thanks, I am not sure why the manufactures started to add the extra food colour, will use the cornflour method.

You could make your own egg custard. For each cup of custard you need 1 cup milk 1-2 tsp 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
