If you don’t watch Doctor who you might be wondering what’s going on with this post and why on Earth you’d want to eat fish fingers and custard. After the Doctor regenerates into Matt Smith he basically tries lots of different foods to find something he likes (“new mouth, new rules”) and eventually settles on fish fingers with custard.

fish fingers and custard

Clearly though I’m not going to just give you a recipe for actual fish fingers and custard because that’s disgusting. These ‘fish fingers’ are actually shortbread! I’ve also included a recipe for custard for our friends in countries that don’t have it ready made (shock horror they don’t have custard in America) but it is quite difficult to make so if you want something quick and easy just buy the powdered or tinned stuff.

 

Step 1
Mark as Complete

'Fish Fingers'

Rub together the butter and flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Mix in the sugar and form into a dough. Mould into 'fish finger' shapes about 3x1 inches and the thickness of two pound coins.

Step 2
Mark as Complete

Cover each finger in breadcrumbs. Place on a greased baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Step 3

Custard

Heat the milk in a pan. Split the vanilla pod, scrape out the seeds and put the seeds and pod into the milk. Once at a gentle boil reduce the heat and simmer for a couple of minutes.

Step 4

Put the sugar. flour and egg yolks in a bowl and use a stand or hand mixer to whisk until it becomes pale and fluffy and leaves a trail when the thick is lifted.

Step 5
Mark as Complete

Pour a third of the milk into the bowl and whisk before whisking in the remixing milk, removing the pod. Return to the pan and bring to the boil while mixing constantly. You should get a thick, glossy custard.
