Enjoy the most delicious homemade custard tart!
Ingredients:
For the dough:
2 cups flour
½ cup cold butter, cut into cubes
¼ cup sugar
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla
2-3 tablespoons cold water
For the custard filling:
2 cups milk
½ cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon salt
How to prepare:
Prepare the dough:
In a bowl, mix the flour with the sugar.
Add the cold butter, and rub it with your fingertips until it becomes like sand.
Add the egg, vanilla, and cold water gradually until a cohesive dough is formed.
Wrap the dough with plastic wrap, and leave it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Prepare the custard filling:
In a saucepan, heat the milk with sugar over medium heat until it starts to heat up without boiling.
In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the starch, salt, and vanilla.
Gradually pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, stirring constantly.
Return the mixture to the pot over low heat, and stir until thickened.
Leave to cool slightly before using.
Shaping the tart:
Spread the dough on a floured surface, and cut out circles that fit the small tart molds.
Place the dough in the molds, then prick them with a fork to prevent puffing.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 10 minutes until slightly golden.
Adding the filling and final baking:
Pour the custard mixture into the tart, then return it to the oven for 15-20 minutes until the top is browned.
Leave to cool slightly before serving.
