Review: Follow the directions - I have only used one time since purchasing. I followed the directions but it seemed too thin so I added more powder, wrong thing to do. Following the directions even if it seems to thin. It will thicken up a lot when cooling. The flavor is good and I will continue to find uses in my recipes for this.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it possible to know the sell by date as of today?  (4/15/19). I see this question below, but it's from two years ago.**
A: Funny you should ask ... I recently read an article in reference to 'sell by' dates. It seems a scientist did an experiment on 'out of date' products. He used his own family as Guinea Pigs and for a full year they ate foods,
such as canned goods, which were well past the sell y date on the can. No one in the family suffered any ill effects whatsoever. The gentleman suggested the FDA re-evaluate their labeling as we waste a lot of food. A any rate, the custard powder lasts as long as you keep it very dry!

**Q: i am not a cook, what do the directions say?**
A: This product is a custard powder that I used to make Namaimo Bars.  It just indicated how much to use and that is what I did.  Birds Custard powder comes from the UK - there was no custard powder to be found at the grocery stores in my area so ordered it on Amazon.  The ingredients are: cornflour, salt, colour and annatto flavouring.  Hope this helps.

**Q: Is the Nanaimo recipe on the package?**
A: Sorry, no it's not but you can "google" it and find it easily.  This is definitely the custard powder for Nanaimo Bars.  I made them 3 weeks ago as a little Canadian touch for my daughter's wedding.  Hope that this helps you.

**Q: Is this the kind you can make by just adding hot water?**
A: No. This is the original custard powder. Add milk or half milk and half water and sugar to sweeten to your taste. It’s great.
