# Tips from dashanddishes:

01 -
  • The combination of flaky pastry and creamy custard is pure morning comfort
  • You can prep everything the night before for effortless weekend hosting
02 -
  • Underbaking is the most common mistake so give it the full 25 minutes
  • The custard continues setting as it cools so do not overbake waiting for it to be completely firm
03 -
  • Keep your puff pastry cold until the moment it goes into the oven
  • Whisk the custard thoroughly so there are no egg whites visible
