En route home from our Williamstown cycle, Flaky J and I stopped in Spotswood to have a punt on the infamous vanilla slice doughnut that has eluded my clutches for the last two years. With my good luck companion in tow we actually triumphed - buying the second to last doughnut remaining late in the day. The vanilla slice doughnut is actually a well designed hybrid with some excellent features, but unfortunately the heart and soul of the doughnut (the vanilla custard) just did not hit the spot. With a lighter than air vanilla cream filling sparingly pumped inside there just wasn't enough filling in comparison to the overall size of the shell. The real hero here was the stunning disk of indulgent, biscuity, flaky pastry. If only these guys made actual vanilla slices using the vanilla custard they pump inside their vanilla custard doughnuts and the stunning pastry from this.
