Egg Custard Tarts
Better an egg this year than a chicken next year.
~ Ethiopian Proverb
I made a small batch of Egg Custard Tarts. The boys love the tarts and can eat three at a go. This is a sure-fire way to get them snacking frequently. It takes about 35 minutes to make a small batch of eight tarts.
Ingredients:
Here are the ingredients to make 8 tarts:
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoon superfine (castor) sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 8 tart shell
Instructions:
 Crack the egg into the milk. |
 Add the sugar into the mix. |
 Beat the mixture until it is smooth. |
 Pour the mixture into the tarts, leaving 1/4″ at the top. |
 I use a toaster oven to make the tarts. For some reason I have never been consistent using the conventional ovens. Anyway, pre-heat the oven to 425 F. Bake the egg custard tarts for approximately 10 minutes and the reduce the heat to 400 F. Bake for another 10-15 minutes until the custard has set. |
 You will know it is done when the knife placed in the middle comes out clean. |

I can’t decide if that sounds appetizing or revolting. You are right, they do look easy enough to make… maybe I should try it.

Hi! I found your link from technorati. Tks!
It is great you can find prepared tart casings. I don’t think we have that over here in Malaysia. Beautiful tarts you got there.
