Vanilla Slices

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Place the puff pastry slices next to each other and defrost. Brush with water, place on top of each other and roll out rectangular (approx. 24x30 cm) on a lightly floured work surface. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and let rest for about 15 minutes. Then bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 25 minutes until golden brown. Remove the dough sheet from the baking tray. Cut the edges straight and cut the plate in half lengthwise.

2. 2

   Let cool completely on a cake rack. In the meantime, separate the eggs. Mix pudding powder, egg yolk and 1/8 litre milk. Put the remaining milk and sugar in a pot and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and add the mixed pudding powder. Bring to the boil again while stirring. Beat the egg white until stiff and fold into the vanilla cream. Let it cool down while stirring occasionally. Place one half of the dough sheet on a piece of aluminium foil and fold up the edges of the foil by approx. 7 cm all around. Pour in vanilla cream and smooth it down. Mix icing sugar and lemon juice and spread on the second pastry sheet. Cut immediately into 6 pieces of the same size.
