But custard contains eggs!
I was going to say the same thing but realise someone noticed it before me. Yep..custard has egg. :(
Yes, the main ingredient in custard is eggs. But the above recipes calls for 'custard powder'. Custard powder is mainly cornstarch with a bit of yellow colouring. It does not contain eggs.
How many days will last?
