Hi people,

I am looking for a good traditional recipe to make a custard slice. I cannot seem to find one.

They are my favourite cakes and also i like them with the custard inbetween the pastry and icing on top.

anyone know or got a recipe for custard slices?

Thank you,
Mat

I'd like to suggest making up a quantity of vanilla pastry cream (creme patisserie??) the recipe Delia uses in her mille feuille is excellent and really easy but you must measure the flour carefully and stir the mixture constantly so it doesn't 'catch' as you heat it.

I would use this to sandwich squares of puff pastry you have peviously baked and cooled and then drizzle glace icing (icing sugar and water) over the top! Yum.

The recipe for pastry cream is actually under "lemon millefeuille" but obviously you'll just be adding vanilla extract and not the lemon juice and zest.

Don't know if that is the kind of filling you want but have a look - it sounds like a variation on a theme certainly.

Happy baking!
