Inspired by watching the Comic Relief Bake Off I decided I would give it a go.
Custard Slice was the choice I made and it was all going so well.
The pastry element whilst a little dark in one corner was as it should be, the custard was so thick when I got it out of the pan I was confident ...
Perhaps too confident ...
I am blaming the instruction to add butter to the custard after sieving it into the clean bowl/jug for the fact that
as you can see
only the dish is holding the custard in place!
Still I soldiered on
Glace ice no problem
Melted chocolate into a piping bag made out greaseproof paper and sellotape (and staples).
Not easy as greaseproof paper repels sellotape - hence the staples to hold the sellotape in position!
Still all going relatively well all things considered
ah forgot to alternate direction of swipes.
Cutting into portions destroyed the design anyway!
Slice on plate looking not too bad.
Pastry nice and flaky.
Amazingly the bottom is not soggy.
Tastes pretty good - shame about the custard.
I think we will leave the rest in the dish don't you?
