Hi Yas-You’re absolutely right! Thankyou

Hi Tiffany-Oh YAY so glad that you liked them! Hello to your husband and that’s very cool! x

Hi Annette-Haha yes sounds like it was too good to wait?

Hi SimplePleasure-Yes you can, in fact I baked the whole batch and then froze some and when I needed them I baked them in a 180C oven for 25 minutes straight from the freezer and they were really nice (although perhaps not quite as liquidey inside). But still very good!

Hi! I want to try this for a dinner party can I make it days in advance and freeze them? If so how do I freeze them? and do I have to thaw them out before baking them?

I don’t really go out late anymore, but it used to be the good old standby of thick cut bread, toasted with butter and vegemite and consumed HOT, right there at the toaster!

Hi The Duo Dishes -Hehe cool!

Hi nora-Thanks! I can never say no to custard!

Hi Natasha -I mostly ate them in the afternoon but then tried one late at night and man was it good!

Hi Cakelaw-Hehe my High School principal used to tell us to learn a new word every day. I took it to mean a new food
word

Hi Ken-Ahh what a fantastic memory association and what a great introduction Bougatsa and The Ramones-fabulous!

Hi Peter-Thankyou so much! It was so nice and thick and I love thick custard

Hi Zam-Me too! They’re so hard to resist. How was your Brasserie Bread box? Doesn’t sound terrible at all, sounds delicious!

Hi Lorna -Oh very cool! And they’re easy to make if you have a late night craving

Oh yummm I adore custard! Pastries are my biggest weakness. And cheese.

My late night snack is a terrible one – 9-grain vita-weats smothered in thick, cold butter!
