    Gala Vanilla Slice

    The vanilla slice is as much part of the Australian cake scene as the lamington. But aren’t the bought ones so often disappointing. Leaden lumps of sweet stodge. The best one I’ve encountered was made by a friend of mine, Ireni Germanos, who has given me this recipe for her Greek speciality, Galatoboureko. Filo pastry and a light vanilla filling combined with a lemony sugar sauce make this a winner. I’ve called it Gala Vanilla Slice.
