Custard takes me to my happy place.  A place that is filled with fluffy white flowers and is quiet as a mouse, except for the hypnotic buzzing of the bumble bees.  It’s sunny, but not too hot in my happy place and sometimes, just sometimes, there is a pristine white claw foot bath filled with silky smooth custard. 

Have I shared too much?  Surely I’m not alone?

This recipe is not the one I grew up with.  It’s gluten and refined sugar free and it doesn’t set as thick as my mums, but it is definitely just as luxurious.  I adore it.

Feel free to use pure maple syrup instead of the Rice Malt Syrup, but just remember that this will then add fructose into the mix.
