    My mum always pre-cut top layer into individual portions and arranged them on top of the filling. That way when you slice through the custard and bottom layer of pastry you do not press down on filling! She topped with icing sugar instead of the cooked icing. The same rule applies to "dobos torte", that famous Hungarian cake with shiny hard caramel top- it must be pre-cut and arranged to easily slice through later! Try it this way- she's having a pastry chef chuckle right now.

    Have made the slices today and, so far, easy peasy. The custard turned out great, thickened up lump free perfectly. The only 'problem' i had was trying to lay out my puff pastry initially in a tin that was too small. That looked to be the easy bit, too!
    What i would like to see added to this vid is exactly how to cut them the next day - making them nice and neat. I dont want to risk ruining my lovely large slab by cutting it and risk having all the custard squidging out the sides.
    Might just have to treat this as an individual portion😉
    Update. After 5 hrs setting time, i sliced one section of the custard off and absolutely perfect! The custard doesn't come out at all and my slice looked identical to the finished one shown in the vid. I used a very sharp meat knife! Just as it is my sharpest, longest knife. Pressed down and hey presto!
    What an amazing recipe! The slices taste amazing and i cant believe i have made something that looks so professional!

      It's not that hard, just add corn flour, that's the trick to thickening up many things. If you ever have to add more corn flour to something you've already started, here's a tip. Take a little of your mixture out & put it in a small bowl or measuring cup. Then add desired amount of corn flour, a little at a time mixing well. Then add it back into your main mixture. Any kind of gravy, roux (different kinds of sauces) & custard I always recommend corn flour. It dissolves much easier & thickens nicely.

    Try using an egg white, add icing sugar to the right consistency and then add a few drops of lemon juice to it. It sets to a nice, hard icing and it counterbalances some of the sweetness. For cutting - you can flip this over after a while (the bottom layer would have softened by now) and then add the icing. Use a knife dipped in boiling water to cut neatly.

    Fabulous custard! You make it look so easy. I've never attempted to make custard because I'm so intimidated by it. I think the icing was brilliant too. Pastry needs a little icing for sure. What are your thoughts on a cinnamon/sugar dusting? Pastry may need some more sweetness than just a dusting of cinnamon sugar though.

    Hi great video, my mum made iced slices when she was alive, but she would bake the custard inside the pastry so it was sealed inside like a pie. A good tip for cooling the custard is place the pan in a sink of cold water, cover with a wet tea towel to prevent a skin forming. Also when you add vanilla extract add it to the cold custard, dont put it in the boiling mixture as you lose a lot of the flavour that way.

    I really like vanilla custard. I also like puff pastry. Put the two together and I'm all for it. Although I don't know if either would last long enough before ready to combine. :-) My mind is remembering the cold pudding sitting in the bowl in the fridge when I was a kid and how it holds it's shape well enough for cutting and wondering if poured into a parchment paper lined, up the sides as well, 11 x 7" pan that when it is cold if it couldn't be covered with one sheet of the puff pastry then flipped over. How well would the parchment paper pull off before covering with the other sheet of puff pastry? Would the paper have to be oiled/greased or something like that to come off clean? I don't think I would be able to stand long enough to execute the custard portion to completion.

    Can I please suggest something. If you want a good flavored custard, get a better quality vanilla extract. Generic Tesco brand is weaker & imitation. I've learned over the years that with certain things a better quality makes all the difference. Always a good quality vanilla, especially when that is the main flavor. Just like with pastry, shortbreads, ect., you'd want a good quality butter.
    On another note, I'd invest in a plastic whisk & wooden utensils, instead of metal. Your gonna scratch your nice pot.

    Disappointed, you didn't show the one bit that is actually difficult - the cutting of the slices. That finished slice at the end was clearly a shop bought one 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

    Just made it from this recipe. Unfortunately I did not like this custard. There is this weird aftertaste that I didn't enjoy.

      Antonia Hormann I thought a serrated knife would rough the edges up a little. I might try my sharpest straight edged knife. ☺️

      @@shellhickin2886 Professional confectioners always use a serrated knife and invariably obtain a cleanly cut edge. I do too.
