Recipe View 2 mins Combine the sugar, custard powder and cornstarch in a large saucepan. Mix in just enough milk to form a paste, then gradually mix in the rest. This will prevent lumps from forming. Add the butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until thick. You may need to use a whisk to ensure a smooth consistency. When the mixture comes to a simmer, cook stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the egg yolks and vanilla.

Recipe View 0 mins Mix the confectioners' sugar with 1 tablespoon of milk, and a dash of vanilla to make an icing. Spread over the top of the pastry. Refrigerate until the custard layer is firm. Remove from the pan and slice.

For an extra touch of elegance, dust the finished slice with cocoa powder or add a layer of fresh berries between the pastry and custard.
To prevent the pastry from becoming soggy, make sure the custard has cooled slightly before assembling the slice.
If you're short on time, use store-bought custard, but homemade is always best!
Make sure to dock the puff pastry well before baking to prevent excessive puffing.
