It is a love from childhood that has endured; a simple custard tart will always be a nostalgic pleasure for me. Custard tarts or flans pâtissier are a baked pastry consisting of an outer pastry crust filled with egg custard.
Instructions to make Custard tarts – eatandtweet style | recipe:
Making the shortbread is simple really. Just mix together the butter, flour, cornflour and sugar until a dough is formed. If the mixture is crumbly then simply add a little water.
Once you have a dough roll it out onto a flat, floured surface until it is around 3cm thick and find a round cutter which is slightly larger than the holes in your muffin tray. Dust with flour and cut out one piece of shortbread with an 11cm cutter and place it into the hole. It should fit in almost like a pasty/pie shape, with a hollow middle. It’ll probably fill around half the hole, this is perfect.
Repeat until you have the shortbread mix in all 12 holes. As mentioned, there should be space in the middle of the mixture to hold your filling, but for now you’ll need to blind bake these shortbread pasties by placing some greaseproof paper in the middle of each.
I place a paper fairy cake case into the empty pastry disc and fill it with baking beans, as they seem to be a perfect fit, stopping the pastry from rising in the oven.
Bake for around 10 minutes then remove the paper cases and baking beans and then bake for another 5 minutes or until cooked in the middle.
Remove them from the muffin tin but keep that to once side. Once cooled, you should now have a shortbread pastry case which is ready to be filled with custard.
Once you have prepared the tarts, heat the milk in a saucepan. Then mix the sugar and egg yolk together, separately from the milk, until you have a creamy mixture. Then you can slowly add this mixture to the heated milk until you have small bubbles form.
Next, transfer the custard to a jug and fill the pastry as high as you can. Some will evaporate in the oven, so get as close to the top as you can. Sprinkle on some nutmeg and bake for 25 minutes.
Leave to cool so that they are easy to remove from the tin and then store in the fridge. If you are having issues removing them from the tin you can always put them in the freezer and knock them out later.

Custard tarts or flans pâtissier are a baked pastry consisting of an outer pastry crust filled with egg custard. The development of custard is so intimately connected with the custard tart or pie that the word itself comes from Anglo-Norman *crustade (unattested), meaning a kind of pie.
