Best Answer

Basic Baked Egg Custard from my grandma's handwritten cookbook, c1900:

3 eggs

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 cup sugar

2 cups scalded milk*

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine slightly beaten eggs with sugar and salt. Slowly stir in milk and vanilla. Pour into 6 custard cups and set them in a pan of hot water. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until knife comes out clean.

* Note: Scalding the milk was done traditionally to kill enzymes that spoiled milk, it's not necessary for that purpose since we now use pasteurized milk. Just warm the milk. I left that in because that's how she wrote it.

For making birds eye or home made custard to set in the fridge takes about 4-6 hours. This is beacause you need to make it fluffy and cold enough. By doing this it will set and taste lovely! Hope this helps and follow me on twitter for more advise at @PoppyLees Thank you

Can Bird's custard be substituted for Americana custard in a rum pie?

No it cannot. Jell-O Americana Custard is a set type of custard (as in flan or creme caramel). Bird's custard can be made runnier, as a sauce, or thicker, as a pudding. It will not set, however. I highly recommend it (especially as a hot sauce over crisps or cobblers), but they are different products.
