    you don't have instant custard in the house? :eek:

    It's just egg yolks and milk if you make it http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/homemadecustard_3102.shtml

    Instant? I'm not allowed or I lose my OS safety pin! :p
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    I haven't got any vanilla pods or essence, only cheap & nasty flavouring. :(

    Right, the pastry's resting in the fridge, and I'm resting outside it. :D I might have a go at Delia's another day.

    I'll go for an uncooked filling, and about 4oz sugar. If it doesn't work, it's Churchie's fault. :p

    Gee thanks :rolleyes: See post 12 ( I think) :p I did give you permission to precook:D
    And as for custard :whistle::whistle::whistle:Lots of nice Bird's around, I wouldn't worry about your pin;)

    Aw, I'm only kiddin'! ;)

    The pastry was a disaster - just crumbled & wouldn't roll. I'm guessing it was too dry, so I've added a bit more water & it's back in the fridge again. I can keep doing that until it's right, right? :confused:

    I prefer cream anyway, so I'm just going to nip & see if I can get any. :D

    I'd be tempted to add sultanas....

    That's something I've never heard of before :confused:;) I like a big spoon of HM marmalade, or some freshly grated ginger with my rhubarb :D

    I knew that :D:D

    In theory, you've just ruined your pastry, in practice it'll probably be fine:D

    All this talk has made me yearn for rhubarb pie:o My rhubarb is having a little whirl round the microwave to thaw out. I'm going with Delia's rustic pie, but with sugar on the bottom, not semolina ;) Yeah cream's the absolute best, or ice-cream and cream :D
