Vanilla Custard Bars
INGREDIENTS :
1 (16 oz.) can store-bought puff pastry, 2 sheets, chilled
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup water
2/3 cup granulated or superfine sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cubed
6 egg yolks, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
powdered sugar, as needed
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 350°F, then line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Then line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving 2 inches of space on the sides.
Roll out the puff pastry and place it on a baking tray covered with baking paper. Using a fork, carefully cut the entire dough without making holes at the bottom.
Optional: Cover each sheet of puff pastry with baking paper and place another baking sheet on top, which acts as a weight to prevent the puff pastry from swelling.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-22
