Tip.. As custard powder has an eggy flavour but is actually made of corn flour and annatto colouring .
from the achiote tree, it is suitable for people with egg allergies, this custard pudding tastes like the filling of old fashioned local cream puffs, so you might want to serve it with soft bread or sliced bananas. or as an adult treat, add raisins soaked in rum.
