### 👩‍🍳 Instructions

#### Step 1: Make the Custard

1. In a small bowl, mix custard powder (or cornstarch) with a few tablespoons of cold milk to make a smooth slurry.
2. Heat the remaining milk and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
3. Once it starts to steam, stir in the slurry and keep whisking until it thickens into a smooth custard.
4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
5. Let it cool slightly (cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming).

#### Step 2: Prepare the Strawberries

* If using fresh strawberries, slice them and toss with a spoonful of sugar to soften and sweeten.
* For more flavor, add a spoonful of strawberry jam or puree.

#### Step 3: Layer the Pudding

In a glass dish or individual cups:

1. Add a layer of biscuits at the bottom.
2. Spoon a layer of custard over the biscuits.
3. Add a layer of strawberries.
4. Repeat the layers until you run out of ingredients, finishing with custard on top.

#### Step 4: Chill & Serve

* Cover and refrigerate for at least **2 hours** (or overnight) to let the layers set and flavors meld.
* Before serving, top with whipped cream, extra berries, or crushed biscuits for texture.
