Steps:
- Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 200ð C (400ð F - Gas 6)
- Leave the pastry at room temperature for a little while before rolling
- Cut the contents of packet in half and roll out each piece into 30 cm squares
- Place each square on an un-greased baking tray and stab all over with the tines/prongs of a fork to lessen the chance of it rising too much
- Bake for about 10 minutes or until browned
- Carefully trim each sheet to about 23 cm square and pat any risen areas back down with your hands
- Line a 23 cm square baking tray with tin-foil and allow plenty of overlap for easy removal
- Place one sheet of the pastry in the foil
- Add the sugar, cornflour and custard powder to a cold saucepan, add a little milk and combine to a paste
- Whisk in the remaining milk and mix well
- Add the butter, heat the pan and gently bring to the boil, stirring often
- Reduce the heat, stir in the vanilla essence and simmer for 3 minutes to thicken
- Whisk the egg yolks in a separate bowl and then whisk into the pan
- Pour the hot custard over the first piece of puff pastry, cover with the second sheet and pat down so it comes into contact with the custard everywhere
- Lemon icing
- Beat the lemon juice and zest in with the butter. It may help to microwave the butter for a few seconds to soften first
- Beat in the icing sugar and add a little water if needed
- Allow the sandwich to cool then spread the icing evenly over the top
- Chill in the refrigerator
