LIONEL'S CUSTARD TARTS
In 1399, the coronation banquet prepared for Henry IV included a medieval version of the custard tart.

Steps:
- 1. For the Pastry: Place the butter, flour and sugar into a bowl and cut / rub the butter in until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Make a well in the centre and add the egg. Combine into a dough, wrap in clingfilm and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- 2. Preheat the oven to 200C. Roll out the pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Using an 11cm fluted cutter cut into 12 discs. If you do not have an 11cm fluted cut use a plain one or make a template and use a wheeled fluted cutter.
- 3. Place the discs into the muffin tray.
- 4. For the custard filling: Warm the milk - make sure it does not get hot as you do not want the eggs to scramble. Meanwhile beat the eggs, yolks, vanilla and sugar together in a bowl. Add the warm milk and stir well.
- 5. Using a jug or a ladle pour the custard into the tart cases to about 1/2 cm from the top and sprinkle with nutmeg. I was distracted by the dog and as you can see I have overfilled these.
- 6. Bake for about 20 minutes. After 15 minutes start to keep an eye on them. They should have a slight dome when the are ready. If they rise too much and crack they are overcooked. Again this picture shows you what happens if you over fill them
- 7. Cool in the tin for 30 minutes before carefully removing them. Eat when fully cooled.
