Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add the custard powder and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth.
3
Roll out the pastry dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread the custard filling evenly over the center of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
4
Fold the edges of the pastry up over the filling, pressing gently to seal. Brush the pastry with a little bit of milk and sprinkle with sugar.
5
Bake the pastry in a preheated oven at 375°F for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow the pastry to cool for a few minutes before serving.
