Ingredients:
* 1 pkt Sao biscuits (Yes, I use Saos, not pastry!! So sue me!!)
* A deep tray, about 25x30cm. Mine fitted 3x3 Sao biscuits exactly
Custard filling (from TMX book, pg 155)
* 75g sugar
* 2 eggs
* 500g milk
* 40g cornflour
* 5g vanilla essence
Pear Icing
* 1 cup sugar
* 35g butter
* 2 small pears (I used 4 canned halves)
* a little water if needed
Method:
* Place sugar into TMX and pulverise for 20 seconds on Speed 9
* Scrape down and add remaining custard ingredients
* Cook for 7 minutes at 90degC on Speed 4
* Line pan with one layer of Sao biscuits
* Spread all of custard onto bottom layer of biscuits
* Top with another layer of biscuits
* Refrigerate
* Place 1 cup of sugar into TMX and pulverise for 20 seconds on Speed 9
* Add butter
* Cream until well combined
* Add pears and process briefly until well chopped
* Put in butterfly attachment and continue creaming on Speed 4, watching until it is the desired consistency
* Scrape down and add a little water if necessary
* Spread onto top Sao layer and put back into fridge until the Saos have softened and icing is set.
Verdict:
Mmmmm. Yuummmmmm. Mmmmmmmmm. Ms D said "Mum! I am speechless!!" She's a laugh. :)
Tweeks:
I think I could also do this with the Carob Custard. And one day I'll find a Failsafe recipe for the pastry.

Sounds fabulous, but what would you suggest as a gluten free option for the Sao biscuits? What would be the cornflour alternative??

Sorry, Daisy. But I haven't a clue about gluten-free. Do you have a good gluten-free pastry recipe?
