Custard is my favorite dessert next to ice cream and this one is my favorite, as it is a custard recipe for cream puffs! I also use it for creme brulee. It’s a great all-purpose gluten free custard, without the use of any flour. I created a Gluten Free Cream Puff Recipe yesterday upon the request of one of my readers and for my father who is visiting me. He’s Italian and cannot resist a cream puff, even a gluten free cream puff! A matter of fact, I had my best shaped cream puff on the table and had left the room. Upon returning, I found the cream puff in his mouth! I told him I was saving that one to fill and needed to take a picture of it. He said, “The damage is done!” and laughed! We both laughed. My father is 100% Italian and cream puffs are a delicacy. He loved that one but loved the ones I later filled even more. Being a connoisseur of cream puffs, he can attest to that this custard recipe for cream puffs is tops in his book! I hope you enjoy, as we both did!
The best custard you'll ever have is baked custard. This is the same recipe I use for creme brulee. You'll love it! Combine with some sweetened whipped cream to create lighter custard (Bavarian cream).

Tips
To avoid the leathery film that custards and puddings make while cooling you may place some plastic wrap directly on the custard, not the bowl. You can then scrape the pudding that will attach to it for your taste tests!
If you are using this custard for cream puffs or crème brûlée there is no real need to add the plastic wrap, but of course you can add it, if you wish.

Years before i became gluten free, (it's been twelve years now), my brother taught me to make puffs and i never ever thought I'd be making them gluten free. I cant wait to try them. Thankyou so much the puffs and custard sounds brilliant.
Stephanie, the trick to the cream puffs is to make sure you beat those eggs very long, to whip air into them. If you don't, you'll have flat pancakes. I'm so glad to know I've brightened your day!
