Day 3

Whenever I was asked what cake I would like from the cake shop as a child, I always replied Custard Tart please......... They are quite easy to make too, although I have never attempted to make individual ones but I make large ones!

half packet bought Shortcrust/Sweet pastry pastry
(I use JusRol all the time!)
2 large eggs
freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 pint milk
2 oz sugar
Roll out the pastry and line the lid of a casserole dish or a flan tin.

Whisk the eggs with the sugar.

Warm the milk and pour it in a continuous stream on to the eggs, whisking all the time.

Pour into the pastry case and sprinkle the top with grated nutmeg.

for 10 minutes

then reduce the heat to

180 degrees C, 350 degrees F, Gas mark 4,

bake for a further 20 – 25 minutes until the custard is set.
