Gazing upon your empty plate with satisfaction, a perfect vanilla slice should leave you basking in the glory of its wonder.
Resting between two buttery pieces of puff pastry the custard should taste of fresh eggs and have a consistency that is not overly viscous nor jelly-like. And if included, the icing should be a firm vanilla that is not too hard. The resulting confection should neither be excessively sweet nor impossible to eat with either the hands or a cake fork.
Sampling from Australian Bakeries, this is The Custard Crusaders' quest for perfection and the battle of the bulge.
