Easy Tubby Custard
Tubby Custard Recipe is a traditional custard recipe traditionally used in Scotland. It was brought to Scotland by the Vikings when they invaded in the late 10th or early 11th century. It is most often made with sweetened milk, but you can also use plain milk, yoghurt or cream. These are both healthier alternatives to butter or cream, which can result in a more custardy dish. It’s also sometimes called Fowling Child.
