OLD-FASHIONED BAKED EGG CUSTARD TART WITH NUTMEG



Old-Fashioned Baked Egg Custard Tart With Nutmeg image

A taste of my childhood, my grandmother made the most amazing Egg Custard, as we used to call it! In the absence of lard, or if you are vegetarian, use a white vegetable cooking fat, but NOT margarine, as the white fat gives the pastry its crispness. Serve this tart at room temperature with cream or just "naked"! You can buy these delectable little tarts in most British bakeries, but they always taste better when they have been made at home. This old-fashioned custard tart needs a thick, wobbly filling, so I've used a round tin with sloping sides and a rim, which gives a good depth. The nutmeg is very important to the flavour, so always use it freshly grated and grate it on to a piece of foil, which helps when you have to sprinkle it on quickly when it goes into the oven.

Provided by French Tart

Categories     Tarts

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 Large Custard Tart, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 ounces plain flour, plus a little extra for dusting
1 pinch salt
1 ounce softened lard or 1 ounce white vegetable fat
1 1/2 ounces softened butter
3 large eggs, plus
2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 pint single cream
2 ounces caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 whole nutmegs, freshly grated
1 teaspoon softened butter

Steps:

  • To make the pastry, first of all sift the flour with the pinch of salt into a large bowl, holding the sieve up high to give it a good airing. Then add the lard and butter and, using only your fingertips, lightly and gently rub the fat into the flour, again lifting the mixture up high all the time to give it a good airing.
  • When everything is crumbly, sprinkle in about 1 tablespoon of cold water. Start to mix the pastry with a knife and then finish off with your hands, adding a few more drops of water, till you have a smooth dough that leaves the bowl clean. Then pop the pastry into a polythene bag and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, pre-heat the oven to gas mark 5, 375°F (190°C) and pop the baking sheet in to pre-heat on the centre shelf.
  • After that, roll the pastry out into a circle on a surface lightly dusted with flour, giving it quarter turns to keep its round shape; it's a good idea at this stage to put the tin lightly on top of the pastry - the size needs to be 1 inch (2.5 cm) bigger all round. Now transfer it, rolling it over the pin, to the tin, and press it lightly and firmly around the base, sides and rim. Now take a sharp knife and trim the overlapping pastry. Then press the rim of the pastry so that about ¼ inch (5 mm) overlaps the edge.
  • Next, roll the trimmings and cut out about 24 leaves, making veins in them with the blunt side of the knife. Now brush the whole surface of the pastry case with some of the beaten eggs, arranging the leaves all around the rim, overlapping them. Brush these, too, with beaten egg. Now prick the base of the tart with a fork, then place it on the baking sheet and bake on the centre shelf for 20 minutes, until the pastry is crisp and golden. Check after 4 minutes to make sure that the pastry isn't rising up in the centre. If it is, prick it again a couple of times, pressing it back down with your hands. After 20 minutes, remove it from the oven, leaving the baking sheet there, and reduce the temperature to gas mark 3, 325°F(170°C).
  • Now place the cream in a saucepan and bring it up to a gentle simmer, then whisk the beaten eggs and sugar together in a large heatproof jug using a balloon whisk - but not too vigorously because you don't want to make bubbles. Then pour the hot liquid over the beaten eggs, add the vanilla extract and half the nutmeg and whisk briefly again.
  • Now place the pie tin back on the baking tray with the oven shelf half out and have ready the rest of the grated nutmeg on a piece of foil. Carefully pour the filling into the pastry case (it will be very full) and scatter the rest of the nutmeg all over, then dot with the softened butter and bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes, until the filling is golden brown, firm in the centre and slightly puffed up. Serve it warm or slightly cooled at room temperature.

CLASSIC EGG CUSTARD PIE WITH LOTS OF NUTMEG



Classic Egg Custard Pie with Lots of Nutmeg image

Old-fashioned yet quietly innovative, this custard pie juxtaposes two ordinarily opposing forces -- satisfyingly creamy and ethereally light -- within a single filling. It's also unsparing with the spice and all the better as a result.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

All-purpose flour, for surface
Sweet Pastry Dough for Custard Pie
1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
12 large egg yolks, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons arrowroot
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, plus more for sprinkling
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 1/8-inch-thick round. Fit into a 9-by-2-inch round fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Line with parchment, and fill shell with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove beans and parchment, and bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
  • With the tip of a paring knife, scrape seeds from vanilla bean into a saucepan, and add pod. Add cream and milk, and bring to a simmer. Remove pan from heat, and cover. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Whisk together yolks and granulated sugar in a large bowl until pale and thick, about 2 minutes. Still whisking, add warm cream mixture in a slow, steady stream. Add arrowroot and nutmeg. Whisk until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into cooled crust. Skim foam from surface.
  • Bake until edges of filling are set but center is still slightly wobbly, about 40 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight). Before serving, unmold, sprinkle with nutmeg, and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Just gave it a stir and let set about 15 minutes to thicken and looked like it was begining to curdle.

This recipe was originally published in the Charlotte Observer sometime in the 1960s. I recently found it going through some of my Mother's recipe clippings and knew I had to make it again, as much for the memories as the taste of this great southern tradition. I lost my Mother in 2002, but going to the S&W in Asheville on Saturdays for lunch with my parents will always remain a special memory for me. Mother, without fail, had the Egg Custard Pie as it was one of the very few desserts she actually enjoyed.

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs. Fresh eggs will give your custard a richer flavor and texture.
  • Temper your eggs. Tempering your eggs means slowly adding hot liquid to them while whisking constantly. This will prevent the eggs from curdling.
  • Use a double boiler. A double boiler is a great way to cook custard because it helps to prevent the custard from curdling. If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
  • Cook the custard until it has thickened. The custard is done cooking when it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Let the custard cool before serving. The custard will continue to thicken as it cools. Let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Serve the custard with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for custard include fruit, whipped cream, and caramel.
