How do you make custard????

Question

I know it may sound weird but how do you make custard. I haven't had it in like ever and I want to make it. Thanks!

Answer 1

You must buy the custard powder. Boil the water and add the custard powder stir it when it is smooth add in sugar.  If you want egg custard add in egg.

Answer 2

The other answers are clearly wrong, you asked for a simple custard recipe, not one containing fruit or caramel, nor made from powder either, ick. This is my tried and tested recipe, enjoy =]
