Brown Sugar Custard Tart

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine 200g all-purpose flour and 30g sugar. Add 40g unsalted butter (cold and cubed) and rub together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. 3

   Add 2-3 tablespoons of cold water, a little at a time, and mix until the dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 23cm tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim the edges. Prick the base with a fork.

5. 5

   Line the tart shell with parchment paper and fill with baking weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and paper and bake for another 10 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool.

6. 6

   In a saucepan, whisk together 250ml whole milk, 50g brown sugar, and 30g cornstarch until smooth. Place over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and just begins to bubble.

7. 7

   Remove from heat and stir in 20g unsalted butter until melted and smooth.

8. 8

   Pour the custard into the cooled tart shell and smooth the top. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.

9. 9

   Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Brown Sugar Custard Tart!
