[@cathys949]

Don't forget a Pinch of salt in the custard and in the frosting. It helps cut the excess sweetness.

[@aussiegirlcancook]

Im not a fan of salt and i do love excess sweetness lol. but I am sure there are many who would appreciate the tip. have a lovely weekend mate and thanks for watching 😊💜🥂

[@aussiegirlcancook]

Stone the flamin crows, matey !!! You’re nothin but the ridge didge true blue fair dinky die bloody dead set….. the REAL flamin McCoy when it comes down to the authenticity of the good old humble classic of the vanilla slice….😂😂😂 I’m sure as hell better get me some…eh? 😅😅. 🇦🇺💕. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Call me un- Australian but I love to add a bit of passion fruit into my icing with added coconut on top. Tends to cut through the sweetness of the icing imao. Cheers 🍻 Matey. 💝

[@aussiegirlcancook]

😂🤣😂 that is not un Australian at all mate. there were two distinctive vanilla slices when i was growing up. this one and one made from custard powder with passion fruit icing on top. i will make it down the track. have a lovely night Tiger xo

[@primehellcat]

Why not swap the icing for white chocolate ganash????

[@aussiegirlcancook]

you could dont know how it would taste. wanted to do a traditional old school vanilla slice. if you do the white choc let me know what you thought xo

What about using Sao bikkies?

[@aussiegirlcancook]

lol you can I remember going to a party as a kid and they had it with sao biscuits. scarred me for life 😂😊💜🍻

[@kelradford374]

Your a bloody marvel love. It looks great, and yeah the icing does look at little thick. I really like the idea of cutting the pastry first. It's good to see an Aussie doing this. Some of the ppl I watch have kitchens who cost more than our house. Keep up the good work.

[@aussiegirlcancook]

Thanks so much 😊 have a lovely evening Kel 💜

[@janellejames4526]

Hi, Love you and your recipes. I’m the lady who asked you for the pikelet recipe. Thanks so much, my Mum was thrilled to have her Mum’s recipe again. Just a little trick for cutting your cooked pastry into equal 6 pieces. Make a grid on a piece of baking paper or the blue pastry plastic sheet and just measure out and draw up your 6 rectangles and then lie it on top and make your cuts. You should be able to make an indent with the pressure of the knife first , remove the paper and cut away. Save the grid until next time if you can. I know this was done months ago but you can still use the idea next time if you need to. Thanks again. One day I will catch up all your great videos. Much love and heaps of hugs. ❤️🌻❤️

[@swishswish386]

That is definitely a winner, it looks amazing !!!

[@aussiegirlcancook]

thanx Swish have a lovely night mate 😁

[@terriann3999]

Yummo 😋😋😋😋

[@ginettelepine9107]

Thanks, I will make it very soon. A suggestion, cut the puff pastry to size from the bottom of your square pan, maybe it will save you having to cut it again. Have a good day from Quebec, Canada.

[@aussiegirlcancook]

thank you mate have yourself a good day too xo 😊🍻

[@drifterdrifter9558]

This is an awesome recipe, it sets well. I cooled my custard in the fridge in a bowl first, because mine looked a bit thinner. I liked the honesty of using less icing. Delicious and well done!!! Thank you
