Title: English Style Egg Custard Tart
Post by: grey nomads hubby on November 19, 2013, 03:11:33 am
Name of Recipe:   Egg custard Tart
Number of People:  4 good sized portions
Ingredients:   EDC Sweet shortcrust pastry

For Custard:-

5oogrms Full cream milk
3 med/large eggs
1 tspn vanilla extract
60grms brown sugar (can be made sweeter but I find this fine)


Preparation:
Make up EDC  Sweet shortcrust pastry and place in fridge for 30mins.

Pre heat oven to 170C

Grease 200mm tin, I use a cake tin, with butter.

Roll out pastry gently around 5mm thick to fit tin, ensuring no holes or cracks form, seal inside with brushed egg white, I used the whites from the remains of the egg yolks in the EDC pastry recipe.

EDC pastry recipe made slightly too much pastry for this size tin so could go to a 250mm tin and 600grms milk.

In the TM bowl place sugar and mill for a few seconds, add milk, vanilla, eggs and mix on speed 4/2-3 mins. Temp 37.

Gently pour egg mixture into pastry case and place in hot oven for around 45-50 mins till custard is set, remove from oven and cool.

Note some nutmeg can be sprinkled on surface after 10 mins baking, but I don't like nutmeg  :-[

Again I have converted an old recipe (this time my mum's)  and used the TM EDC pastry recipe instead of mums original  hand made sweet pastry.

I found using the egg white wash removed the need to blind bake the pastry case.
