    Looks yummy, but need to ask questions. Is castor sugar regular granulated sugar? Is custard powder a cooked pudding powder? —-bookmarked-—forgot to congratulate you on your features on your recipe cards-—-Big Congrats :-) Norval

  • bubbleblue replied

    We have a more grounded down sugar called castor sugar. if you have a food processor use that for a minute to grind the sugar a bit. If not your normal granulated sugar will do. Our custard powder would have corn flower in it as a thickening agent. Not really sure what your cooked pudding powder is. It may be the same. Is it yellow and do you mix it with milk and sugar or do you cook it in the oven to get a pudding. If yours turns into a pudding its not the same.

  • Norval Arbogast

    Norval Arbogast

    Thanks Joy, I will use the food processor, they have the finer sugar, it’s called bakers sugar here and is hard to find. The pudding mix for cooked pudding here is yellow but you don’t add sugar, just milk, and you cook it on the stove top or microwave to thicken. It is made with cornstarch.——didn’t find the chocolate almond bars, probably just overlooked the like I amost did with the Orange loaf.

  • bubbleblue replied

    ha ha i think you would be fine using your pudding mix. Well i really do hope so.
    Joy Let me know if you want more help>

    Great shot Joy,, now Im going to make some.. another one of the things I miss about home are the pastries, we have so much more better ones back home.. I miss going to the local bakery, to buy a pasty and vanilla slice or kitchener bun..

    Di

  • bubbleblue replied

    Although i love to cook, we have a wonderful cake shop near us. Do you have bread shops like bakers delight?

  • aussiedi

    aussiedi

    No we dont.. I love to cook also.. every summer my hubby and I cook for our local minor league baseball team.. I make jelly slice( one of their favourites), pav’s, ,, We have a few places here where you can get some nice pastries, but nothing comes close to what we have back home.

  • bubbleblue replied

    Wow, i haven’t had jelly slice in many years.

    I loved looking at all of your work. It is absolutely exquisite. But you see I have a passion for vanilla slices. You should see how big they make them here in Adelaide! :)))))
