Avoid These Common Custard Pudding Mistakes For A Perfect Result

By Bhavana Verma

Overcooking Custard

Baking custard for too long can curdle it up so always check a little earlier with a knife to avoid overbaking.

Not Tempering Eggs Properly

Adding hot milk directly to eggs can cook them so pour milk gradually while stirring continuously.

Not Straining the Mixture

Make sure to strain the custard through a fine sieve to get silky smooth texture.

Not Preheating the Oven

Preheating oven ensures even heat and uniform baking, so custard isn’t over or undercooked.

Not Using a Water Bath

Water bath cooks the pudding evenly while maintaining the moisture.
