• Whisk milk, eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla together in a bowl until completely combined. Pour egg mixture into 6 custard cups; sprinkle tops with nutmeg. Place cups in a baking pan and fill pan with enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the custard cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until custards are set, about 1 hour. Cool completely.

CUSTARD BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

• Beat egg with a fork in a small, heavy saucepan. Mix in sugar and milk. Heat on medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until it just starts to boil. Continue beating rapidly until mixture thickens to a thin custard consistency. Remove from heat and cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Beat butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and creamy, about 5 minutes. Add cooled custard, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in rum and vanilla extract. Keep beating until buttercream is very light and fluffy.

SIMPLE CUSTARD

Steps:

• Cook and stir milk, vanilla extract, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove mixture from heat before it comes to a boil.
• Whisk eggs, sugar, and cornstarch together in a bowl until sugar dissolves.
• Set saucepan back over low heat. Pour in egg mixture slowly, whisking constantly, until custard thickens enough to coat the bottom of a spoon, 5 to 10 minutes.

CREAM CUSTARD CAKE FILLING

CUSTARD CREAMS

Steps:

• Make the biscuits:
• Sift the flour, custard powder, powdered sugar, and baking soda into the mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Slowly add the butter, one cube at a time. Scrape down the sides of the bowl from time to time and continue to mix until a smooth dough is formed.
• Remove the dough from the fridge 15 minutes before rolling it out, and preheat the oven to 325°F/170°C/150°C fan/Gas Mark 3. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to roughly ⅛-inch/3mm thick. Use a 6cm pastry cutter to cut 20 rounds from the dough, and transfer the rounds to two baking sheets lined with baking parchment, leaving 1cm between the rounds. Bake the biscuits for 10 minutes. They will look slightly golden, but it's important that they don't take on much colour. Allow the biscuits to cool on the sheets for a couple of minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Make the filling and assemble:
• Meanwhile, put the butter and powdered sugar for the filling into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until smooth, then add the vanilla paste and beat again. Scrape down the sides and continue to mix until the vanilla is incorporated. Use a spatula to transfer the mixture to a disposable piping bag. Cut a ½ cm hole in the pointed end of the piping bag and pipe spirals of the icing on 10 of the biscuits, leaving ½cm between the filling and the outside edge of the biscuit. Carefully place an un-iced biscuit on top of an iced one and repeat with the remaining iced and un-iced biscuits - there will be 10 filled custard creams in total.
• Store in an airtight container in a cool spot for up to 5 days.

CUSTARD CREAM

Steps:

• Put the milk over moderate heat in pan of suitable size (you don't want too much surface area, to prevent too much milk from evaporating).
• Combine the egg yolks, sugar and corn starch in a heavy-bottomed pan. When the milk boils, turn down the heat.
• Combine the milk with sugar/egg-yolk mixture bit by bit, making sure the mixture is completely dissolved in the milk. Now add the vanilla extract or other flavouring.
• Now turn on the heat (not too high, but you don't have to be extremely careful either) and keep stirring until the mixture starts to boil again and then turn off the heat. I like to use a whisk, which helps to mix everything well and make the custard slightly fluffy.
• If you feel the custard is too fluid even after it has boiled you can consider adding a bit more corn starch, but be very sure to mix it with some milk first, and be sure to not let the custard continue boiling for too long.
• Pour the custard into serving dishes. The custard can be served while hot (but wait a few minutes, or you'll burn your mouth) or after letting it cool down (it will thicken slightly while cooling down).
