CUSTARD TART


Who doesn't love a custard tart? There's something rather nice about that "just set" cold custard with a hint of nutmeg running through it!



I've been asked " how will I know when my tart has set?"


My answer is, when you gently shake your tart, and you see a gentle wobble, your tart is ready!!


But realistically all Eggs will behave differently and have slightly different strengths, I've tried to give a recipe that will set without any problems, but if your tart seems to be still liquid, just continue to cook, checking at regular intervals

This recipe will make a 20cm tart, serving 8-10 people
