This recipe came as a visitor request and after a little research it seems for some reason this [[Dessert|dessert]] is peculiar to Australia and New Zealand. I have tried this out and it's quite good, though fairly filling.

| 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

| Add the [[Butter|butter]], heat the pan and gently bring to the [[Boil|boil]], stirring often
| Reduce the heat, stir in the [[Vanilla|vanilla]] essence and [[Simmer|simmer]] for 3 minutes to thicken
| Whisk the [[Egg yolks|egg yolks]] in a separate bowl and then whisk into the pan
| Pour the hot [[Custard|custard]] over the first piece of [[Puff pastry|puff pastry]], cover with the second sheet and pat down so it comes into contact with the custard everywhere
