Did It once in Home Ec. Never again. Use a good quality brand, and get the custard right and voila.. instant custardy-oozy-snot block goodness.<BR/><BR/>Personally, along side the Arnott's bikkies, I found the quick set pre-fab custard the scariest ingredient.purple goddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05205284829507903435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537734033723164207.post-75309290519601352212007-11-28T11:24:00.000+11:002007-11-28T11:24:00.000+11:00Wrong indeed - that arnotts link is an absolute tr...Wrong indeed - that arnotts link is an absolute travesty! I have to admit that I love my vanilla slices, am yet to work up the courage to try making it myself though (puff pastry, it still terrifies me!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537734033723164207.post-27574223540719032632007-11-27T19:20:00.000+11:002007-11-27T19:20:00.000+11:00Couldn't agree with you more.

One of the Custard Crusaders brought a Vanilla Slice from his local in Parkdale and it was awful. Packet custard sandwiched in undercooked pastry - a shocker. Couldn't eat it. Now debating whether to write it up because it has an average score of five out of twenty I think.<BR/><BR/>Might go to Canterbury to try the Maling Road one this weekend instead. Got a tip off for one in Castlemaine this week in the blog.stickyfingershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861830835308131738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537734033723164207.post-11819315281887359952007-11-27T11:53:00.000+11:002007-11-27T11:53:00.000+11:00funny how similar foodstuffs can evolve slightly d...funny how similar foodstuffs can evolve slightly differently across the tassie ... we call them custard squares and they usually have white vanilla icing on top, sometimes with a sprinkle of desecrated (:) ) coconut on top, but never with icing sugar. my grandmother used to make her own from scratch and they were divine, but i don't really go the storebought variety since i am not a huge custard fan.<BR/><BR/>The "best" custard squares sold in NZ, in the South Island at least, are from Denheath House, south of Timaru. Their reputation is such that they now sell them to outlets all over the place.<BR/><BR/>http://www.denheath.co.nz/ <BR/><BR/>xx<BR/><BR/>sgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
