For our American friends I have found some online sellers of British Custard
1:Simply Beautiful on Amazon.com they sell Birds Custard powder in 300g and 600g sizes.
2:The English Tea Store at htpp://www.englishteastore.com they Birds custard powder in 300g size.
3:British Food Shop at htpp/www.britishfoodshop.com they sell both sizes of Birds custard powder and Ambrosia Devon Custard ready made in a tin thats made in my neck of the woods.
the other option is to find an English or Irish store locally.Happy Hunting!

  11. Are those the English "biscuits" as in cookies---and if so, what kind do you think works best for the recipe--or are they American biscuits which are more like bread?
