When do I add the milk?
Hi,
The milk is used with the icing sugar to make the topping. Mix milk with icing sugar. Hope this helps, happy baking.
Thank you so much! I never thought about the icing!! I will be making them this weekend.
No problem, hope you enjoy.
And the SIZE of the packet of custard? The recipe requires 2/3 – but the quantity very much depends on the amount in the packet! Help!
Hi,
Sorry its a 75g packet so use about 50g.
Let me know how you get on.
Thank you.
