Cut in margarine by pinching between your fingers, or using a pastry blender, until the mixture has lumps no larger than small peas. Make a well in the center, and pour in the eggs, 1/2 cup milk and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Stir until the mixture comes together, then knead for about 5 turns on a lightly floured surface.
  2. 2 Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Grease two 12 cup muffin tins or tart pans. Cut out 20 circles using a 3 inch cookie cutter or drinking glass. Line the muffin cups with the dough. Set aside the remaining dough to cut out tops for the cups.
  3. 3 In the top of a double boiler, or in a metal bowl set atop a saucepan of simmering water, whisk together the cornstarch and 3/4 cup sugar. Gradually whisk in 3 of the egg yolks, and 1quart milk. Heat, stirring constantly, until thick and bubbling. Remove from the heat, and stir in the butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla until the butter is melted.
  4. 4 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fill the pastry shells half way with the vanilla cream. Roll out remaining dough, and cut into circles for lids.

  1. 1 Whisk together eggs, cream, cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until well combined; set aside. Shake together flour, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon salt in a paper bag; set aside.
  2. 2 Dip chicken into beaten egg mixture, then place into flour mixture in the bag and shake to coat. Place breaded chicken onto a wire rack; do not stack. Let chicken rest for 20 minutes to allow coating to set.
  3. 3 Heat about 3 inches oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In small batches, fry chicken until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Set aside or keep warm in a low oven.
  4. 4 Combine mayonnaise, maple syrup, horseradish, and mustard powder in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  5. 5 Preheat the oven's broiler.
  6. 6 Place bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on a paper towel-lined plate.
  7. 7 Place 4 waffles on a cookie sheet. Top each waffle with 2 chicken tenders, 3 bacon slices, and 2 cheese slices.
  8. 8 Cook under the preheated broiler until cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes.
  9. 9 Spread 3 tablespoons maple mayonnaise on each of the remaining 4 waffles and place on top of sandwich.
