Christine Andersen Nov 29, 2005:
No, it's not marzipan.I found this comment:
Hannita-Mars�ns�s pulver �r helt vanligt vaniljs�spulver, den som man kokar tycker jag �r b�st eftersom den inte �r s� s�t om den man vispar ihop kall.

powder for vanilla sauce

Marsanpulver does not exist here in the US. (I have to get it from Sweden). This is what you make a dessert sauce with, vanilla sauce, that you put on pies etc. I would rewrite.
Peer comment(s):

agree Christine Andersen : Is it anything like custard powder? Largely cornflour with vanilla flavouring, quite indispensible in the UK!

Tack Christine!
agree David Shannon : Taste-wise at least I'd say 'custard powder' would work perfectly as a translation

Marsán

Marsán is a registered trademark. Produced by Ekström, Sweden (I just checked in our kitchen). For making custard and vanilla sauce. Two types available, ie, one for boiling and one for making cold custard. In my opinion tastier than the British Bird's Custard powder.
