Notas:
Ek het eers na ek die custard gemaak het, dit deur sif gesit. Die gedeelte is baie belangrik. Dit is wat dit die creamy en smooth texture gee.
Ek het dit ook in rubber baking mouls gebak.
Het ook vars kruie bygevoeg.
Proe jou custard voor jy dit bak.
Het dit weer warm gemaak in bord voor ek res van kos ingeskep het.
