Vanilla Layer Slice with smoked paprika

Method

1. Start by prepping your all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, eggs so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the garlic and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the vanilla layer and let it one-pan, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the olive oil along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Taste and adjust, then finish with flaky sea salt right before serving.
6. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
