This custard tart is a hit as a perfect dessert every time, as my pop got me to take one every time we had a family gathering.

Ingredients

Biscuit pastry:

90g butter

¼ cup (60g) sugar

1 egg, beaten

1¼ cups (155g) plain flour, sifted

¼ cup (30g) S.R flour, sifted

FILLING :

3 eggs, beaten

1 tsp vanilla essence

600ml milk

2 tbs sugar

nutmeg

1.		BISCUIT PASTRY :

2.		Beat butter until creamy, add sugar, beat until just combined. Add beaten egg gradually, beating well after each addition. Over creaming at this stage will make pastry difficult to handle.

3.		Work in 2/3 of sifted flours with a wooden spoon, then remaining flour with the hand.

4.		Turn on to a lightly floured board, knead lightly until smooth.

5.		Refridgerate 30 minutes before using.

6.		FILLING :

7.		Roll pastry on lightly floured board, carefully line a greased 20cm tart plate. Pinch edges decoratively.

8.		Beat eggs, vanilla & sugar together; warm milk, gradually stir into egg mixture. Carefully spoon custard into pastry case.

9.		Bake in a moderate oven for 30-35 minutes. After 15 minutes cooking time, sprinkle with nutmeg.
