Rens – Die resep kom uit Wenresepte

1 pak cream crackers

1 liter melk

250ml suiker

60ml botter

120ml meel

100ml mazina

10ml vlapoeier

2ml sout

100ml koue water

3 eiers geskei

5ml vanilje

500ml versiersuiker

5ml suurlemoensap

35ml kookwater

Pak cream crackers onder in plat bak. Laat die lyntjies almal in dieselfde rigting loop

Verhit die melk, voeg suiker en botter by en kook tot gesmelt

Haal van stoof af.

Meng meel, mazina, vlapoeier sout en koue water voeg eiergele by en meng tot gladde pasta. Klits nou die melkmengsel geleidelik by die vlamengsel. (EK GEBRUIK MY WHISK, DIT VEROORSAAK DAT DAAR NIE KLONTE VORM IN DIE MENGSEL) Gooi terug in kastrol en kook vir omtrent 5 min tot dik – roer aanhoudend.

Haal van stoof af en gooi die vanilje by. Klits eierwitte tot styf en vou in mengsel in.

Gooi die warm vlamengsel bo-oor die beskuitjies en pak weer ‘n laag cream crackers bo-op.

Sit vlaskywe in yskas tot heeltemal afgekoel en koud

Maak aan die versiersuiker, suurlemoensap en kookwater  en smeer bo-oor beskuitjies.

Ek gebruik net versiersuiker en suurlemoensap – gooi net bietjies bietjies suurlemoensap in tot jy ‘n smeerbare beslag het en smeer oor die tert.

Hou verkoel in yskas.
