Bird's Original Custard Powder 250G

For anyone seeking lower carbs, less refined sugar, Celiac friendly or just a new way to enjoy Birds custard… sharing my “Almost crème brûlée” recipe - into a 1 cup tea cup, 1 heaping spoonful of birds original custard and 1/3c milk, stir until smooth. Then add 1/3c milk, stir. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Microwave for 30seconds, then for 15 seconds, keeping an eye on it. When it bubbles up to the top of the cup, stop microwaving, it is ready. Sprinkle 1 tsp packet of Just Panela across the top of the custard, and let the cup rest on the counter for 5mins. Then enjoy!

easy to make. now time to adjust the thickness

After finding out that we as a culture in the Midwest have no custard, he was flabbergasted. Whether it was in a can or powdered, no custard in sight. This is where this website came in. He was so shocked when I handed him the can. Very happy to have his custard back.

I ordered this because i was making a new recipe which requires custard powder. I’ve never heard of this previously, and this was the highest rated one upon doing my research. It was $5.95 + ~$8 of shipping and taxes totaling $14.46. Since this isnt something i can find locally, i didn’t mind the shipping. Shipping was fast and everything went smoothly. Upon opening the package, i found a packing slip indicating which “lot” this specific can came from. I saw three dates, 2/26/2026, 6/30/2026, and 10/31/2026 and a check mark next to the 2/26/2026 one. To my suprise, this is the expiration date of each lot. I found myself realizing that this particular can of custard powder will only be fresh for another three months as opposed to almost a full year like the other two “lots”. I understand running a business and inventory needs, however I’m disappointed that i paid double for a product that is near its expiration date.

Bird's is the gold standard for pre-made custard powder. Enough said. Now to make some Nanaimo Bars!!!

I have been using this custard powder for 60 years, it has never changed.
My English Sherry Trifle would not be the same without it.
Love it hot on puddings and crumbles.

Good product that tasted great. Fast shipment was also appreciated.

I miss British puds especially drowned in warm custard. Glad there's a quick fix with Bird's. I'd nuke with almond milk for 3 mins, stirring regularly, then add vanilla or almond essence, Stevia for sweetness, usually served with a warm muffin! It's not fresh custard but you can play around with flavors and milks to get a decadent treat. Thanks Bird's!

FALSE

This is my second. I like the quality of the custard powder but wish the tin could be fuller so I feel like I'm getting value for my money.

I make custard

Perfect accompaniment to mince pies

My family has used Bird's Original Custard powder for over 70 years, since my childhood in Britain. I am so glad it is now distributed by verified in the US and easy to get. Remember to keep stirring and don't take your eyes off it or it may boil over.For I prefer things less sweet so I reduce the sugar, and think if more sweetness is needed extra can be added later. Also, If you want more vanilla flavor add a1/2 teaspoon towards the end. Other flavors and colors can be added. And if you want to add spirits such as brandy or rum, this can be gently stirred.in at the end.If a "skin" forms on top from letting it sit, you can always put it through a fine strainer.

If you want the creamiest delicious custard then choose Bird’s.This is the gold standard for custard.

I love custard and this arrive faster and fresh

I grew up in England with this fabulous English Bird's Custard Powder. It is great on fruit pies and sponges plus in trifles, etc.. Should also be good for custard tarts though haven't yet tried to make.

Bought as the second layer from the top of my first English Trifle. First time buyer and taster. When I finished making Bird's custard stovetop I did a taste test. Best tasting custard/pudding I have Ever made. Could have with my spoon, eaten all that I had made. Will be making this again just for me. Those at our dinner eating the Trifle said it was absolutely delicious. I believe it was due to this custard. Could not find it in any of my grocery stores. Thanks for sending. YUM!

I have been using this product for 5 decades and it is the best custard over apple pie or whatever your favorite is. Sell on the other hand does a bait and switch with the delivery. Seller entered into a contract when they accepted my $$ and promised next day delivery. However…what they did give was a bait and switch. Bait you into next day delivery but then does 2 day delivery. So buyer beware with this seller. I have reported them to verified. Hope you do not experience the same results.Needed product for Thanksgiving and this seller epically failed.

Great British custard

I am not a fine dinning person so I find this custard powder perfect.Been useing it all my l life works perfect.

I wanted to use a recipe that calls for Bird's powdered custard and was so happy to find it at verified. The bars I made were great so I made them again. I have not tried to make custard but will do so sometime in the near future. I was happy with the price. I could not find it in my local grocery store. It seemed fresh when it came and I have no doubt that it will taste wonderful. It certainly is easy to prepare according to package instructions.

Good

Used to make Nanaimo bars for the first time. Birds custard was recommended. They were right the bars were phenomenal.

Mother loves it.

I recently used Bird's Traditional Custard Powder to make Hong Kong Style Egg Puffs, and I couldn't be happier with the results! This product is a game-changer for anyone wanting to recreate this delicious treat at home.Rich Flavor: The custard powder delivers a rich, creamy flavor that is essential for authentic egg puffs. It adds the perfect sweetness and smoothness to the batter, making each puff incredibly delicious.Easy to Use: The instructions are straightforward, and the powder mixes easily with the other ingredients. I appreciated how quickly I could whip up the batter without any hassle.Great Texture: The texture of the egg puffs was outstanding—crispy on the outside and soft and custardy on the inside. This powder helped achieve the perfect balance that you’d expect from a bakery in Hong Kong.Versatile Ingredient: While I used it for egg puffs, I can see this custard powder being a versatile addition to other desserts as well. I’m excited to experiment with it in different recipes!Final Thoughts: I highly recommend Bird's Traditional Custard Powder to anyone looking to make authentic Hong Kong Style Egg Puffs or enhance their dessert repertoire. It’s a fantastic product that delivers on flavor and quality. I’ll definitely be stocking up for my next baking adventure!

The recipe and direction not in sync with the results I got

I used this to make Nanaimo bars, it was fresh and delicious and made the recipe!

It’s good for making Chinese style cake.

The item arrived wrapped in shrink-wrap and underneath the red lid was a foil seal. So, no spillage. Compliments to Bird's on the packaging. Flavor is great as always.

A nostalgia item in my kitchen, as custard was a standard topping for pies and fruit. However, I was interested to find out that you can now use the microwave to cut down prep time, just be careful it doesn't boil over (as mine did the first time!)
