**The Art of Making a Delicious Apple and Berry Strudel**
Putting custard into a dish is as simple as mixing together a tablespoon of custard powder, about half a heat tablespoon, with a bit of milk. This mixture will help thicken the custard, giving it a nice pie-filling consistency. The key to achieving this perfect consistency is keeping the custard on low heat until just right.
Another crucial step in making our apple and berry strudel is creating a flaky pastry crust. To do this, we need to buy a sheet of felo pastry, which can't be made at home. We take one sheet of pastry and gently brush it with melted butter, being careful not to rip or tear the pastry. Next, we sprinkle a layer of crumble mix - equal quantities of ground almonds and breadcrumbs, with a bit of white sugar added in - over the pastry.
To add more layers to our strudel, we take another sheet of felo pastry and brush it lightly with butter. We then sprinkle another layer of crumble mix on top of the buttered pastry, followed by a third layer of pastry, again brushed with melted butter. This process is repeated four more times, resulting in five layers of flaky pastry. The final step is to dust the top of each layer with a bit of crumble mix and sprinkle some breadcrumbs over the top for added crunch.
To assemble our strudel, we place another sheet of felo pastry on a flat surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. We then take the five layers of pastry that we have created and stack them on top of each other, brushing each layer with melted butter and sprinkling crumble mix over the top. Once we've stacked all the layers, we brush one final layer of butter over the top of the strudel.
To add some extra flavor to our strudel, we need to roll out a sheet of pastry thinly and sprinkle it evenly with a bit of brown sugar. This will give us that perfect crunch at the end when we slice into our strudel. We also sprinkle a few sprigs of mint over the top of our strudel for added flavor and a touch of green.
Now that our strudel is assembled, we simply pop it in the oven at 200°C for about 20 minutes, or until it's golden brown and crispy. Once it comes out of the oven, we let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into it. And voila! Our delicious apple and berry strudel is ready to be devoured.
