You can create something fantastic with only a few common kitchen staples and a piece of premade short crust pastry. The tart also allows you to be creative and produce something beautiful.

Custard tart tips

The short pastry you buy at the store will always be excellent, exactly like puff pastry. It will form a lovely golden crust. As well as crèmes, this combination may be utilised to make a wide range of different desserts. Fill greased cups with the batter and place them in a can of water. Put it in the oven and bake for approximately half an hour. Substitute cinnamon for the nutmeg, or top with a berry combination (blueberries, raspberries, etc.). Accompany a hot cup of coffee or tea with a chilly serving.
