Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare the pastry crust by combining the flour, salt, and butter in a bowl. Mix until the dough comes together, then wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Tip: Use a light touch to prevent the butter from becoming too cold.
- 2
Roll out the pastry dough to a thickness of 3mm. Place it in a 20cm square baking dish and trim the edges.
Tip: Make sure the dough is evenly spread and the edges are smooth.
- 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and praline syrup until well combined.
Tip: Be patient and whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- 4
Pour the milk mixture over the pastry crust and smooth the top.
Tip: Use a spatula to remove any air pockets that may have formed.
- 5
Arrange the almonds in a single layer over the custard.
Tip: Make sure the almonds are evenly spaced and not overlapping.
- 6
Bake the tiffin for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the custard is set.
Tip: Check the tiffin after 25 minutes and cover the edges with foil if they are browning too quickly.
