Glad that your baby liked this custard. Try mixing oats , water and beaten yolk together. Then cook them together in order to avoid scrambling
Is there a replacement for egg in this recipe?
You can replace egg yolk with 2 tsp of corn flour or custard powder.
My baby is milk protein intolerant. How can I replace milk in this recipe?
You can replace milk with other milk types: cocount milk, almond milk etc. Make sure your baby is not allergic to any before you add
Hi I tried the recipe but while heating the milk yolk sugar….it’s seemed like milk got burst….I mean doodh fat Gaya ho shayad …….let me know what is to b done as I then too added nuts nd oats too….
Milk and yolk mixture should be heated only for few minutes or until it’s slightly thick. If you heat it for a long time, then it might get burnt. Also you should do everything in low flame. Hope it helps.
