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!
