   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      pound         puff pastry -- (1 pkg.)
    1      cup           sugar
      1/4  cup           cornflour [cornstarch to 
                           North Americans]
      1/2  cup           custard powder
    4      cups          milk
    2      ounces        butter
    2                    egg yolks
    2      teaspoons     vanilla
                         Passion Fruit Icing:
    1      cup           icing sugar
                         [powdered sugar]
    1      teaspoon      butter
    1                    passion fruit
    1      teaspoon      water -- approx.
Have pastry at room temperature. Some packages of puff pastry come in 
two separate 1/2 pound blocks; some come in a 1 pound black. If using 
the former, roll each half block separately. If using the large 
block, cut pastry in half.
Roll each half of pastry to a 13-inch square, then with sharp knife
trim to 12-inch square. Place one square of pastry on large ungreased
oven tray; bake in very hot oven 5 to 10 minutes or until well 
rowned.
Trim pastry with sharp knife to 9-inch square. Bake and trim remaining
pastry in the same way. Flatten "puffy" side of both pieces of pastry
with hand.
Line a 9-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, bringing the foil
up and over sides; this makes it easy to remove slice when set. Place
one piece of pastry into base of tin, flattened side uppermost. 
Combine sugar, cornflour (cornstarch) and custard powder in heavy-
based saucepan; mix well to combine.
Blend with a little of the milk until smooth, stir in remaining milk;
add butter. Stir mixture constantly over heat until custard boils and
thickens; reduce heat, simmer 3 minutes. Remove from heat, simmer 3
minutes. Remove from heat, quickly stir in vanilla, then stir in the
beaten egg yolks. Pour hot custard immediately over pastry in tin.
Place remaining pastry on top of custard so the flattened side touches
the hot custard. Press pastry firmly with hand.
Spread evenly with Passion fruit icing when cool, refrigerate several
hours or overnight until filling has set.
Passion fruit Icing: Sift icing sugar into small basin; add softened
butter and pulp from passion fruit. Add enough water, approximately 1
teaspoonful, to make icing of thick spreading consistency. (The amount
of water needed will depend on size of passion fruit.) Beat well.
