Where would I be without my classic British custard? Stuck with American tapioca pudding, perhaps.

This one's a cure-all for those dull and rainy days and just perfect with some vanilla biscuits. It's also the basis for another classic British dessert: English Trifle. Just layer some sponge cake, strawberry jam, fruit cocktail, and fresh cream with this secret pudding and enjoy a scrumptious treat after refrigerating overnight. It's not for the diet-conscious, but definitely worth a sample.
