Description
This is the best egg custard tart I have ever made and tasted. You should check this out. Cheap and easy to make, too.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups milk
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease the bottom of a deep-dish pie plate.
- Make pastry: Beat butter
- sugar
- and egg in a bowl until creamy. Blend in flour to form a dough
- using your hands to knead it together at the end.
- Roll pastry out on a lightly floured surface and place into the prepared pie plate so it covers the bottom and the sides.
- Make egg custard filling: Beat eggs and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until combined. Beat in vanilla extract. Gradually stir in milk until fully incorporated. Pour custard mixture over crust and sprinkle with nutmeg.
- Bake in the preheated oven until custard is set and a sharp knife inserted near the center comes out clean
- about 45 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool completely before serving
- about 1 hour.
