OMG 66yo and have never ever heard the Vanilla Slice called "SNOT BLOCKS" boy now I've heard everything lol, they say you learn something new everyday well today I certainly did, thank you for sharing.

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

Haha it's crazy isn't it!! I think I prefer custard square or vanilla slice 😉

[@Lozyloza1]

@@EasyPeasyKitchen I have to totally agree with you, being Aussie born and breed makes me wonder what rock I've been living under all these years lol

[@MicheeeeeObiMrs]

Wow that surprised me because my 89 year old mother said it started when she was a young woman. Her cousins and uncle called the pus slice. Snot slice. and so on. So it has been around a LONG TIME. I am 59 and heard it all my life.

[@toriphillips7383]

I’ve always heard it called a snot block here in Australia

[@saaneroa5024]

I've always wanted to make vanilla slices but did know how. Thanks so much for showing me how to make them. You are awesome Taryn.

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

You are so welcome! Enjoy making some of your own 😊

[@chrystal7893]

I've just tried this tonight, the custard comes out beautifully smooth, no lumps. This is an awesome method, can't wait to eat it tomorrow. Thanks for sharing!

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

Yay, so happy to hear you have tried it and it was a success!! It is a great method isn't it!!

[@kayelee8287]

Yes I have made vanilla slice often and the custard can be tricky, so can't wait to try your method. Melbourne, Australia.

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

I'm sure you'll love this method. Let me know how you get on ☺️

[@PPCryBaby]

Hi, Do you mind sharing your method? I'm in Melbourne as well. I try many vanilla slice here and all shops are different.

[@jacintabyline]

Hi Taryn - another Kiwi cook here. I've been thinking of making custard squares again which I haven't done since my children were little. I do always make my custards, sauces and gravies in the microwave and have never had a problem with lumps. My go to custard recipe was given to me years ago by a very old country lady - but yours intrigues me and I will definitely try it. I've subscribed and look forward to exploring your channel.

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

Hi and welcome 😊. Custard square is so delicious isn't it!! Actually anything custard is well received in our house! Hope you enjoy trying this recipe!

[@siafaau7565]

Oh I always wanted to do custard squares yay I will definitely try this thanks so much 😊

[@philstevens9914]

Add a layer of strawberry jam on the bottom layer first before the custard.

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

That sound like an interesting addition...might have to try it sometime!

It's hard to resist a smooth, creamy custard square!!

[@ladymmctube]

Hi Taryn, It is really pretty! I had never heard of custard powder and had to look it up. Here in America we have instant pudding and Google recommends using that as a substitute. Also, we don't have corn flour here, but we do have corn starch. I'm amazed by the differences between our countries when it comes to ingredients. BTW, I missed you last week. I hoped you were well. Glad to see you back.

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

Hi Miriam, thanks for your comment. It is interesting what is available and not available in different countries! Yes corn flour and cornstarch are the same thing. I have updated the recipe in the description and also added a note for how to make your own custard powder. This is really just a flavouring and you can leave it out completely if you wanted to. That is interesting about the instant pudding, I hadn't thought of that, but it should work and you could potentially get different flavours using that too. I'll be uploading videos every second week for a few months. I left a message on the SFMK community tab, but maybe you missed it :-)

[@ladymmctube]

SFMK community tab? Can I have a link?

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

It should come up as a notification for subscribers, but maybe it plays up sometimes.

thank you!

[@laurieshaw5441]

Great video! Ha ha ha! Yes, off-cuts don't last very long, do they! My husband was quite put out that there were no off-cuts from the cake I made for our son's wedding, yesterday, after I tortured him all week with the smells of baking. Usually, when I carve a cake, there are plenty of off-cuts leftover, but I needed them to bulk up the lamb's tummy.

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

Oh dear, that is torture having those delicious smells and not getting any samples! Hope all went well for your son's wedding 😃

[@Banyaga]

Hi…thank you for sharing this. My husband loves custard squares. New subscriber here! I live in Tauranga with my Kiwi husband!♥️

Welcome ☺️ custard square seems to be a favourite for lots of kiwi men, hope your husband enjoys it when you give it a try!

[@christophermoore753]

it was good when we had lattice biscuits in australia no longer available.

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

True, you can use biscuits instead of pastry. Even water crackers work well!

[@volcwatcher7563]

Hi....can you use store bought ready made custard?....such as the Anchor cartons?

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

No it won't hold it's shape unfortunately.

[@pooheadlou]

Why the custard powder? If you don't mind me asking, is it a flavour thing?

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

Yes, adds flavour. You don't have to use it though.

[@tonymaxwell8748]

That look very nice. But can I add fruit salad to the custard like peach pineapple bananas

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

That's an interesting point. I haven't tried it before, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. If you try let me know how you get on ☺️

[@karenmusa3052]

As a Aussie I cringe when ever I hear 'snot block's lol seriously disgusting 😅 What a fantastic recipie and in a microwave no less, brilliant. Thanku so much neighbour 🥰 I've subscribed, xx

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

Yay, thanks for subscribing. I hope you enjoy these delicious custard squares as much as I do ☺️

[@KatelynsAdventures707]

Could you just use custard powder Taryn, or is how you did it how you get that custard square flavour. 😋💗

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

No you can't just use custard powder for the whole thing, that will give you a much stodgier custard. Doing it this way gives a smoother, creamier custard and the little bit of custard powder is a flavouring. I have made it without the custard powder and it was still yummy. Maybe that's where is gets it's vanilla slice name from.

[@leoniepobke7565]

Use Sao biscuits very nice

[@EasyPeasyKitchen]

Yes, they work well if you don't want to use pastry.

You don't need pastry
