About Birds custard

Birds Custard, a beloved British dessert staple, is a creamy custard powder first formulated by Alfred Bird in 1837. Unlike traditional custard made with eggs and milk, Birds Custard is egg-free and uses cornflour as its base, making it suitable for individuals with egg allergies. Prepared by mixing the powder with milk and sugar, it transforms into a rich, velvety custard often served alongside pies, puddings, or fruit. While it provides some energy due to its carbohydrate content, Birds Custard is relatively low in fat depending on the type of milk used. However, added sugar during preparation can increase its calorie content, making it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. Its versatility and quick preparation have made it a cherished part of British cuisine and beyond, offering a slice of comfort food that's easy to whip up in moments.
