You are correct in that you won't use the whole 2 blocks, but have a bit of butter left over. If you are in doubt, it is best to follow the amounts in the recipe rather than video or pictures... best to count the Tablespoons or use weight amount as posted and go from there. <br /><br />Hope that helps... and have fun baking!Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029231204593874635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590241869561905455.post-25685613196548663192015-04-30T11:03:13.375-07:002015-04-30T11:03:13.375-07:00Are you sure about the amount of butter?

The very first time I tried making them (maybe a year ago), it was a disaster (butter pooling all over the pans...) After watching the ATK episode, and seeing your blog, I tried them again, and they look just perfect! I'm so excited! Thank you so much. Your pictures really helped. It feels like a huge accomplishment! Now that I got the hang of it, the 3rd batch (yes! 3rd batch) was so much faster to roll.

But one time I ended up making a different version using the cooked puff pastry and a lemon curd/cream filling with fresh berries... and posted it(labeled as berry napoleon). Yet I know it's not the same as the custard slice, but maybe it's somewhat close:) <br /><br />I've wanted to make the custard slice you are talking about, but just never got the chance... so many recipes to make:). One day... <br /><br />I hope you can give croissants another try... and yes, it is crucial that the butter and dough be kept cold. I've learned that through my own failures.<br /> <br />But thanks for stopping by and just taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it!
