 Do you know that we can make smooth texture custard puddings like restaurants' easy? Do you like smooth texture custard pudding? If you use this recipe, you can make delicious custard pudding!

 In Japan, when we hear the word "pudding", we might think of the sweet that is made from eggs and milk and looks like a jelly. However,  in other countries, "pudding" does not only mean sweet like jelly. For example, dishes steamed with ingredients such as eggs, milk, flour and spices are collectively known as "puddings" in UK. In other words, "pudding" also  means  some dishes! This is very interesting.

This recipe was told to me by my mother when I was in junior high school student. At that time, I had a best friend and her favorite sweets was custard pudding, so I thought that I'd make custard puddings for her birthday. But I didn’t know that how to make it. Then, my mother taught me the recipe. Now, sometimes, my best friend tells me that she wants to eat my custard pudding again. This recipe is our memory.

 I want you to eat this custard pudding and be happy, so I introduce this recipe to you. Why don’t you make this custard pudding for your close friends or loved ones?

 You’ll can see that this custard pudding contains a lot of sugar while you make the custard pudding. If you take care about your health, you can decrease 20 grams of sugar from this recipe’s.
 However, you can modify more specially one because this custard pudding is basic. For example, you can add some decoration like caramel sauce or whipped cream. In addition, this is smooth texture custard pudding, but if you like hard textures’, I recommend you that you steam more 5-10 minutes in the step 8.
 You can make easy custard pudding whit just mix the three ingredients and steam it, so I grad you enjoy it!
