Pre-heat oven to 220 C. Separate the two eggs.
Melt the butter in a saucepan, adding all the ingredients except egg yolks.
Cook, stirring occasionally over a gentle heat for 5 minutes. Add the egg yolks and mix well.
Cool the mixture and place in a bowl while you prepare the pastry.
Cut the pastry into two neat rectangles. Line a tray with greaseproof paper and place on it one pastry rectangle.
Drizzle over the honey but leaving a centimetre border around the edges. With the other pastry rectangle, fold over lengthwise and make slits every inch or so along the folded centre.
Reopen the pastry and brush the edges with egg white and also the other pastry rectangle on the tray. Spread the almond mix over the pastry base again leaving a centimetre border.
Carefully place the other pastry slice over and pinch the edges to seal. Brush with the rest of the egg white and sprinkle with rich muscovite sugar or caster sugar.
Bake on high for 5 minutes, reducing the heat to 180 C for the remaining ten minutes. Drizzle with honey and custard & sprinkle with cinnamon and icing sugar!
