In some US supermarkets you can get Bird's Custard powder - it's yellow in
colour and consists mainly of cornflour (cornstarch ) I believe. Mine (which
I've just dropped and showered the kitchen) has a label of calories etc
stuck over the ingredients and it won't come off.
Going to clear up the mess!!

What is custard powder? Sometimes in the US we add "pudding mix" which is
a
product you add milk t and either it sets cold, or you cook it to make
pudding. (Jello is the common brand here). This is all I can think of?
