For an extra smooth custard, consider using a whisk with silicone-coated wires to prevent scratching your microwave-safe bowl. Experiment with different extracts! Almond, lemon, or even a touch of rose water can create unique and delightful flavor profiles. If your custard develops any lumps, simply whisk vigorously or pass it through a fine-mesh sieve to achieve a perfectly smooth texture. Be sure to let the custard cool completely before filling your cake or cupcakes, as warm custard can make your frosting melt or become soggy.

Jan 12, 2025The custard was a bit too thick for my liking. Next time, I'll use a little less flour.
