Ingredients:
- For the Custard:
480 grams whole milk
4 egg yolks
100 grams granulated sugar
30 grams cornstarch
5 grams vanilla extract
For the Pastry:
- 1 package of puff pastry sheets (usually contains 2 sheets)
- Flour for dusting
or Ruff Puff Pastry
8-ozs. Plan FLOUR.
5-ozs. Lard. or White Shortening
Half Teaspoonful SALT.
COLD WATER (approx. 1/4-pt.)
Mix Flour and Salt in a basin. Cut Lard into small pieces
and mix with the Flour, using a knife. (Do not rub Lard
in). Mix into a stiff paste with COLD Water; turn on to
a floured board and roll out into a narrow strip; fold
into three, turn one of the open ends towards you and roll
Do this three times. Roll the last time into the
shape desired. ALWAYS TAKE CARE TO ROLL FROM
out again.
For Assembly:
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
- Fresh berries or fruit for garnish (optional)
instructions :
1. Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
- Dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheets into rectangles of even thickness.
- Cut each sheet into 4 equal-sized rectangles. You should end up with 8 rectangles in total.
- Place the pastry rectangles onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Prick the pastry with a fork to prevent excessive rising during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Allow them to cool completely.
3. Make the Custard:
- In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth.
- Gradually pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Transfer the custard to a bowl and let it cool completely.

4. Assemble the Custard Slices:
- Once the pastry and custard have cooled, slice each pastry rectangle in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom layer.
- Spread a generous amount of custard onto the bottom half of each pastry rectangle.
- Place the top half of the pastry over the custard, pressing down gently to sandwich the custard.
- Repeat with the remaining pastry rectangles and custard to create 8 custard slices.
5. Serve:
- Dust the tops of the custard slices with powdered sugar if desired.
- Garnish with fresh berries or fruit if desired.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
