How to Make Custard Vanilla Slice
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the pastry: In a large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes. Cut the butter into the flour using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough into a large rectangle (about 12x16 inches).
- Transfer the dough to a baking sheet. Prick the dough with a fork several times.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining dough.
- While the pastry is baking, prepare the custard: In a saucepan, whisk together 4 cups milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 large eggs yolks, 1 tsp vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Pour the custard over one pastry sheet, top with the second pastry sheet, and let it cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar and slice into squares before serving.
