If I recall, Aussie custard powder is not to be confused with instant pudding or anything similar. I'm not certain it has a US equivalent, does it?

I would imagine it would be something similar to instant flan.

(of course I'm guessing)

I lived in Oz for a number of years and I never had the opportunity to make it from scratch.

I do my pastry in a similar way to momoreg, I usually put wire racks over the top of the baking pan that way the pstry only can rise to that height, when I make the custard, if I am making with regular custard powder I add cream when I bring the milk to the boil for that extra richness, otherwise I make a pastry cream.Cutting is simple when completely cold I use an electric knife.
