Can I use homemade puff pastry?

Absolutely. Homemade puff pastry will give an even richer flavor, although store-bought pastry makes the recipe quicker.

Why is my custard too runny?

The custard may need more cooking time. Continue stirring over medium heat until it becomes thick enough to coat the spoon.
