06 CrÈme Patisserie/Custard Slice<br />

40g caster sugar<br />

2 egg yolks<br />

20g cornflour<br />

250ml full cream milk<br />

3 pumps <strong>NoMU</strong> Vanilla Paste<br />

500g puff pastry<br />

1 egg<br />

Icing sugar, to dust<br />

Preheat the oven to 200°C.<br />

Whisk the sugar and egg yolks until thick and pale. Add the cornflour and<br />

whisk well.<br />

In a heavy based saucepan, gently heat the milk with the <strong>NoMU</strong> Vanilla Paste<br />

and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and slowly pour into the egg<br />

mixture, whisking continuously. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and<br />

place over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is nice and thick.<br />

Cover the surface with clingfilm and leave to cool completely. Make sure the<br />

cling film touches the surface of the custard so that a skin doesn’t form.<br />

Roll the puff pastry to roughly 3mm thick and while still cold, cut into 12<br />

(5cm x 10cm) rectangles and place on a greased, lined baking tray. Gently beat<br />

the egg and using a pastry brush, coat each slice with a layer of egg wash.<br />

Place another sheet of grease proof paper over the pastry and put a baking tray<br />

on top to weigh it down, to ensure the pastry doesn’t puff up. Bake in a hot<br />

oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.<br />

Carefully assemble your custard slice with alternating layers of pastry and<br />

custard finishing off with a dusting of icing sugar just before serving.<br />

Makes: 4 triple layered custard slices or 6 double layered slices.<br />

Note: Only assemble the custard slice just before serving to prevent the<br />

pastry from going soggy. Delicious served with berries!
