    Oh yummy!! Thanks for the replies ladies. Hopefully I'll get a chance to make some today. I'm just so sick of all the additives and other nasties on the ingredients list that i don't even know what they are! Olivia I would love your baked custard receipe - sounds delicious. I know they can't be avoided but I'm trying to limit them all and see if that helps with my kiddies terrible exczema. So am I right in assuming that if I want to use make more of Sangie's custard I would increase the ingredients - like if I want to make double quantity I would double the ingredients? I'm so new to cooking that some of my questions are embarrassing, LOL!!

    WRT food colours - some brands of the powder have red colour as well as yellow.

    Liviam - not sure, I hope she comes in to reply. Not all recipes double so you can either give it a try or wait to see if she has done it before.

    Hey D, I always figure it can't hurt to try (doubling that is), but if it's something you're new to, sometimes it's easier to make a smaller batch to start with, until you're comfortable with the technique. Also, that way, if for some reason it doesn't work out as you'd hoped, you're not as annoyed at wasting all those ingredients!!!!!

    Have fun experimenting hun, it's loads of fun!!! And don't feel silly to ask questions, those of us who love and adore cooking are only too happy to help out

    Dan I've never tried to double it, I make it for Elena and its more than enough for her. I can't see any reason why doubling wouldn't work though? But like Janie said maybe try a single batch first. I'm trying to do more things from scratch too, just wish I had more time to experiment! Good luck, let us know how it goes!
