Vanilla Slice (Classic)
A popular Australian bakery slice with thick vanilla custard between crispy pastry sheets. Cooking the custard until it's genuinely thick, well past when it looks ready, lets it hold clean layers when sliced instead of oozing out.
Ingredients
Instructions

Whisk yolks, sugar and cornflour. Heat milk and pour over, whisking.
Return to pan. Cook, stirring, until very thick. Add vanilla and butter.
Pour custard between the two pastry sheets. Refrigerate 4 hours.
Mix icing sugar with passionfruit or lemon juice. Spread over top.
