Custard Tarts

Beautiful and light, can be made as individual tarts or 1 large one.
To save time you can use ready made pastry cases, or use my recipe  for shortcrust pastry ( to find it, search in the above box.



The amount below made 8 x 3" tarts.

Line tartlets tins (do not bake blind).

3 large egg yolks
3/4 pint milk
2 oz Sugar
nutmeg

Warm milk in a pan.

Beat egg yolks and sugar in separate bowl, then stir in milk until bubbles are created. Mix in a sprinkle of nutmeg.
Put mix in large jug.

Put tartlets on baking tray, and while on oven shelf, pour in custard mixture (this prevents spills while putting in oven).
Sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg on tops, and bake Gas 4, until edges are set, but middle is still wobbly.

Remove, and allow to cool while still in tins.

Enjoy!
