Peach and Custard Splits


 
I am loving Ruby Tandoh's columns in The Guardian,  and recently was totally suckered in by her recipe for Rhubarb and Custard Splits, online here.  I did not see Ruby in GBBO, but I am enjoying watching the very first series of GBBO, currently on TV here.  Edd Kimber is such a sweetie and fun to watch, especially as I have followed GBBO religiously from its inception through The Guardian.
 
Really, what's not to love here - sweet buns filled with crème patisserie and jam:
 
 
For a twist, I used sour cream (because I had some) in the crème patisserie and homemade peach jam instead of making rhubarb jam.
 
People at work thought these buns were scones, but regardless, they seemed to eat them.  I really liked these buns, which is no surprise given my adoration for custard.  The buns are a little fiddly to make, but are super easy - all you need is a little time.

I've never seen a "split" before but I can tell from looking at these that I need to at least put that somewhere on the bucket list as they look really really good. Custard, a bun, and fruit, what's not to love on that plate?? So pretty, too. :-) You make the most interesting things over here.
