It didn’t matter if it was my girls when they were little, or gnarly hardened shearers. Big or little, old or young, these dead-easy slices were always a hit.

Method

Place a layer of SAO biscuits in the bottom of your container.

Measure sugar and custard powder into the saucepan and combine with a little cold milk to form a lumpless paste.

Transfer to a heat source and stir while adding most of the milk, don’t add the whole lot until you see how thick the custard turns out.

When the custard is thick and does not fall off the spoon, pour over the SAO biscuits in the container and spread evenly. While custard is still warm place another layer of SAO biscuits over the custard and press down firmly. Place container in the Engel and refrigerate ’til cool. In a small bowl measure in the icing sugar and drop in the food colouring, spoon in the water and stir all together to form a paste. Smooth icing over the top of the slices and return to the Engel to become completely cold before serving. Have for morning tea along the track somewhere.

TIPS

Substitute 3 heaped desert spoons of milk powder and 400-500ml of water instead of real milk.

Make slices at breakfast time so they will be good and cold for morning tea.

I choose to use Foster Clarks custard powder but any brand will do.

Pre-made cartons of custard will not work as they are too runny.
