About custard pudding
Custard pudding describes several related egg-and-milk desserts. This profile names its selected style explicitly: a Southern baked egg custard without a caramel layer or starch thickener.
The flavour is gently sweet and milky, with vanilla fragrance and a warm nutmeg finish.
The custard is pale gold, smooth and softly set, with a delicate wobble rather than the thickness of stovetop pudding.
