For baked custard, no starch is used. The egg thickens it. For packaged custard mix such as Birds Custard, the thickener is cornflour or cornstarch and there is no egg.
The starch found in the custard powder gives the structure to the product in which it is used. It also provides the light golden colour formed from the dextrinisation (application of dry heat on starch) process.
A custard is a sweet dessert made of eggs, milk(or cream), sugar and flavoring like vanilla and nutmeg which is baked in the oven in a bain-marie (water bath) until the custard is firm, not runny. If you boil this mixture in a pan on the stove, you should add a little corn starch. Stir it constantly until it is thick. This is called custard pudding.
arrowroot (This tolerates freezing and prolonged cooking better, and imparts a glossier finish.) OR ClearJel® (especially for pie fillings) OR tapioca starch (dissolves more easily) OR potato starch (This is permitted during Passover.) OR kuzu OR flour OR water chestnut starch (especially in Asian cuisines) OR unsweetened almond powder (imparts a nutty taste, especially good in Chinese sweet-and-sour dishes)
1 tbs of cornstarch(corn flour) and 1/8 tsp vanilla.
Starch thickened pudding are also called boiled puddings because they are boiled in order to cook the starch that thickens them.Baked puddings are custards that contain additional ingredients,usually in large quantities.Bread pudding,for example,is made by pouring a custard mixture over pieces of bread in a pan and baking it in the oven.

Who doesn't like custard everyone likes custard!
Gelatinisation is when starch grains (rice,flour,pasta) are mixed with a liquid and heated, the starch then heats and explodes and eats the moisture, this results in the jumping of the liquid.Be care ful when things are 'gelatinising' , as touching it can easily burn your hand!!!(When the starch granules are heated to about 60degrees they start to swell. But gelatinisation is not complete until boiling point is reached. If heating is continued, the granules will swell to 5 times their normal size. This thickens the liquid.)Examples of gelatinisation; pancakes,rice smilies,steaks, lemon meruinge pie.Gelatinisation sauces ; white sauce, custard, strawberry sauce, egg custard.
