Pretty proud of my first attempt at making a vanilla slice, and my first time making custard completely from scratch. Something I think I’ll be doing again for sure.
Other than a lot of frantic stirring, it’s not too complicated. And now I’m left with the discarded egg whites, I suppose I’ll just HAVE to make meringue. Such a sacrifice, I know, but we mustn’t be wasteful. It’s the responsible thing to do when you’re in a cost of living crisis.
For sure though, need to get chickens and encourage another local mum to get a dairy cow she doesn’t mind sharing the milk from. Or just win the lotto and create a Marie Antoinette style play farm at the end of my inevitable and endless garden estate.
In the meantime, it’s good fuel for actual garden planning and getting into the yard before the heat really hits today.
