===========================================================================================
In this video I share my tips for making a perfect custard square/mille-feuille/vanilla slice. It's a non-conventional recipe, but I find it works every time.
It's important to make sure you don't end up with lumpy custard, and I'll show how to avoid that. It's important to make your custard square look fancy, and I'll show that too. Today I'll demonstrate with coconut, feathered chocolate and passionfruit, but the options are endless.
As always, we'll cut and plate it ready to share... Unless it's all eaten before then!

As an Aussie, I have absolutely NEVER heard it referred to it as 'snot block' 🙈

@MicheeeeeObiMrs 2 месяца назад

You are kidding me. I am 59 and most of my life that is all we have referred to them as. SNOT BLOCKS. I have never heard it called a custard square like this lady calls it. My 89 year old mother's uncle and cousins called them PUS SLICE, SNOT SLICE, and then in the 60's it started as a snot block. She is from the Mallee. Maybe that is where it orignally started.

@philstevens9914 Год назад

Add a layer of strawberry jam on the bottom layer first before the custard.

@EasyPeasyKitchen Год назад

That sound like an interesting addition...might have to try it sometime!

@MicheeeeeObiMrs 2 месяца назад

Wow that surprised me because my 89 year old mother said it started when she was a young woman. Her cousins and uncle called the pus slice. Snot slice. and so on. So it has been around a LONG TIME. I am 59 and heard it all my life.

Yes I have made vanilla slice often and the custard can be tricky, so can't wait to try your method. Melbourne, Australia.

@EasyPeasyKitchen Год назад

I'm sure you'll love this method. Let me know how you get on ☺️

@PorinPhanwipa Год назад

Hi, Do you mind sharing your method? I'm in Melbourne as well. I try many vanilla slice here and all shops are different.

@chrystal7893 Год назад

I've just tried this tonight, the custard comes out beautifully smooth, no lumps. This is an awesome method, can't wait to eat it tomorrow. Thanks for sharing!

@jacintabyline 2 года назад

Hi Taryn - another Kiwi cook here. I've been thinking of making custard squares again which I haven't done since my children were little. I do always make my custards, sauces and gravies in the microwave and have never had a problem with lumps. My go to custard recipe was given to me years ago by a very old country lady - but yours intrigues me and I will definitely try it. I've subscribed and look forward to exploring your channel.

@EasyPeasyKitchen 2 года назад

Hi and welcome 😊. Custard square is so delicious isn't it!! Actually anything custard is well received in our house! Hope you enjoy trying this recipe!

Hi Taryn, It is really pretty! I had never heard of custard powder and had to look it up. Here in America we have instant pudding and Google recommends using that as a substitute. Also, we don't have corn flour here, but we do have corn starch. I'm amazed by the differences between our countries when it comes to ingredients. BTW, I missed you last week. I hoped you were well. Glad to see you back.

@EasyPeasyKitchen 2 года назад

Hi Miriam, thanks for your comment. It is interesting what is available and not available in different countries! Yes corn flour and cornstarch are the same thing. I have updated the recipe in the description and also added a note for how to make your own custard powder. This is really just a flavouring and you can leave it out completely if you wanted to. That is interesting about the instant pudding, I hadn't thought of that, but it should work and you could potentially get different flavours using that too. I'll be uploading videos every second week for a few months. I left a message on the SFMK community tab, but maybe you missed it :-)

@laurieshaw5441 2 года назад

Great video! Ha ha ha! Yes, off-cuts don't last very long, do they! My husband was quite put out that there were no off-cuts from the cake I made for our son's wedding, yesterday, after I tortured him all week with the smells of baking. Usually, when I carve a cake, there are plenty of off-cuts leftover, but I needed them to bulk up the lamb's tummy.

@EasyPeasyKitchen 2 года назад

Oh dear, that is torture having those delicious smells and not getting any samples! Hope all went well for your son's wedding 😃

@christophermoore753 3 месяца назад

it was good when we had lattice biscuits in australia no longer available.

@EasyPeasyKitchen Месяц назад

True, you can use biscuits instead of pastry. Even water crackers work well!

@KatelynsAdventures707 2 года назад

Could you just use custard powder Taryn, or is how you did it how you get that custard square flavour. 😋💗

@EasyPeasyKitchen 2 года назад

No you can't just use custard powder for the whole thing, that will give you a much stodgier custard. Doing it this way gives a smoother, creamier custard and the little bit of custard powder is a flavouring. I have made it without the custard powder and it was still yummy. Maybe that's where is gets it's vanilla slice name from.

@volcwatcher7563 2 года назад

Hi....can you use store bought ready made custard?....such as the Anchor cartons?

@EasyPeasyKitchen 2 года назад

No it won't hold it's shape unfortunately.
