Bird’s truly original custard mix is the quick and easy way to make a traditional British dessert on the fly. First invented by Alfred Bird in 1837 because his wife was allergic to eggs, this yolk-free custard powder has a delicious homemade taste that’s never been equaled. Blend this flavorful thickening agent with sugar and milk, heat the mixture to a boil, and you’ll be ready to serve it on its own or over your favorite English pudding.
