Custard (lowest stakes AIBU ever?)

[toomuchtooold]

I've just made meringue for a Christmas pavlova (no I know, it's not very Christmassy, but we asked the kids what they wanted three years ago when they were 4 and it's sort of become a tradition) and I have 4 egg yolks left. WIBU to make some custard from them and have some panettone and custard this evening, even though it's not remotely Christmas yet and there's a tsunami of pudding coming at me from about Saturday onwards?

Sounds delicious, as long as the custard isn't shark-infested

Sounds lovely OP as does pavlova. Can I come to yours for Christmas dinner?!

What with this and another thread about pigs in blankets I'm now ravenous which is a dangerous situation when drinking coffee in McD's

I can literally eat custard from the pan/carton and I'm ve ve impressed you make your own.

Can you make pavlova that far in advance? Does it still stay chewy?

I don't know @psuedosatisfactionbaby, I make the meringue as dry as a bone, very 80s! Then it keeps. I also make and freeze a yule log, and I also do a Christmas cake. Basically the aim is to have enough pudding to keep us going through to January (the Christmas cake lasted through to May last year!

Well Mary Berry was making a pear and ginger Pavlova for Xmas last night on tv do if it's good enough for Her...
My aunt always makes Pavlova it's a Xmas tradition in our family. Delicious and a nice change from all the heavy stuff.

Enjoy the custard😁

Recipe please! I hate soggy pav!

sounds blinding!

Pav for Christmas is very Australian. Especially if there's kiwi and passion fruit on top.

It is Christmas! Do it!!

Ok so I called the Custard Police Helpline, and apparently it would be an actual CRIME not to use your left over yolks to have custard today. You have been warned, OP and photo evidence of said made custard is required here this evening.

You make your custard

It’s the season for eating, calories don’t count from now until the 1st of jan

If your kids eat a healthy diet and are as active as kids should be, eating custard and panettone tonight is more than fine!

the whole point of a healthy and balanced diet is that you can eat (reasonable portions of) everything.

P1nkHeartLovesCake I agree. I look forward to my January of salads

Sounds lush! Can you adopt me please OP? (even though i'm in my 40s).

She’s totally not sharing it with her kids....

If you're feeling a bit guilty about the sugar, why not a yolk rich cheese omelette with side of worthy salad to compensate?

There is never a time when it is not a good idea to make custard. Pavlova is a classic NZ Christmas pud too.

Er, out the way you lot, I've already claimed any leftovers > sharpens elbows <

Make a emon custard out of them using just and juice, let it cookl, fold iit into whpped cream and fill the meringue with it. The best pavlova EVER!

1 of my favourite things about making pav is that you're forced into making custard

So yanbu

I'd have custard any day if the year, Christmas or no... YANBU

PAH!

You and your comment need to find a new thread, this one isn’t for you

Screw the omelette! I made passionfruit curd today. Going to put it on pav. Or fold it into cheesecake. Or eat it with a spoon.
