Old Fashioned English Custard Tart

[@MsWinterlife]

Your recipes gave me much comfort during the numerous and seemingly endless lockdowns in the last few years. RIP dear Mr. Paul, and thank you for bringing so much joy to us all.

[@geosamm9981]

70 years ago when I was a skinny little kid my gran used to make these for me to feed me up and try to put a little weight on me. She never had to tell me twice to eat up. Simple, traditional, wholesome food you just can't buy off a shelf.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hi, I made these in my bakery both in the UK and here in Spain for more than 60 years before my retirement. They were ceratinly one om my best sellers- Thanks for watching.

Looks amazing! Takes me back to my youth. I'll share my story with you.... During summer out of school in the 70s I would be in the kitchen with my Grandmother. The other kids ran around riding bikes, playing football, doing all kids of stuff. My Grandmother cooked for a large family who worked on a farm so I always wanted to cook something, particularly something baked which I still enjoy. One day I wanted to bake something (1st time) and she had some old cookbooks in a drawer. She said look through them and I did. I picked out something and looking back now I laugh because when I picked something she looked at it and simply said "why don't you find something else that is a little easier to make" lol. So I flipped through and "Egg Custard Pie" sounded good. I'd never had one and she said she had a frozen pie crust in the freezer and I went to work. I think I was about 10 years old. It baked up beautifully and the house smelled amazing with the nutmeg. My Grandfather and the others came in for lunch and I kept on an on about how I made a pie. He said nothing, he wasn't a hard man but he was a bit no-nonsense and I was hyper I made something. After his meal he wanted dessert (this was just normal man of the 70s to be fed a meal a dessert and walk away from the table). He ate it and I asked how it was...he didn't really say too much from what I recall...maybe he grunted in a good way. Well....a few weeks later he was leaving for the fields to work and she asked him "what do you want today?" (meaning food) and as he put on his hat and walked out the door he turned and said "have the kid make another one them pies!" (the egg custard). I love that story and I made them for him from time to time and they were always simple, amazing and they turned out exactly like yours! (minus the real crust, of course). Cook on!

[@mitomom4947]

I love that story! Your grandfather sounds just like mine; no-nonsense, plain spoken, but there was love there.

[@lisahinton9682]

@dreampsi2 I loved your story. What a great relaying of that first afternoon, making your first egg custard pie! I can just picture your grandfather making a half-satisfied grunt, finishing up, and walking back out to the fields to start working again. You must've been walking on air when he asked for another pie! I am glad it spawned a love of baking in you, working side-by-side with your grandma. Wonderful story.

[@briangreen1991]

[@tommygun2648]

Thank you for this recipe. I can't wait to try it out soon. When I was much younger my family were traveling to celebrate Thanksgiving with my maternal grandparents & cousins,. We stopped for lunch at an old hotel that was opened in the 1850's in a little town in Georgia. For dessert I had an old fashioned English custard in a ceramic cup topped with about 1/3" of cranberry gelatin. The tart gelatin went perfectly with the not-too-sweet custard. Custard in the US is always made with vanilla extract and too much sugar for my taste. Most grocery stores never carry cranberry gelatin, and those that did carried small amounts 'seasonally'. But that was BA (Before Amazon). I will be trying this custard recipe once my order of cranberry Jello arrives. A good friend who divorced long ago, and has no children used to host pot luck dinners for friends who are single snd married without children on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Covid put a stop to that, but she says she is thinking of restarting it this Thanksgiving. A wide variety of good food and plenty of wine make for a wonderful evening. There is a friuendly competition for home made desserts. If this works out well, I'll be taking it to the Thanksgiving feast.

[@beverlybenson9981]

Thank you so much for this recipe. My grandmother was from England. She came to America in 1906. She brought with her many wonderful recipes. She would make us custard frequently. Especially when we were sick. She'd sprinkle a little bit of nutmeg on top. I've made it also over the years and oh, the aroma takes me back to my childhood. I'll have to try this wonderful recipe.

[@Cornz38]

Mr. Paul, I'm making this right now! Can't wait until it's out of the oven and cooled. I grew up in the southern part of the United States where we have custard pie (out of style now). However, when I made one of these US recipes, it didn't taste likely the lovely custard tarts I'd had in Australia or in Hong Kong. They call for additions of heavy cream or butter in the custard. I miss the texture of the English. I've gotten my scale out to measure it your way and can't wait to be re-united with a real English custard tart! Thank you again, sir!

[@1justpara]

So many things to try and so little time to do it in. I think I'll start with these yummy custard tarts and the toad in the hole today. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. They're clear, easy to follow and no fancy gadgets needed for the most part. Just perfect, thank you for sharing your *trade secrets* with us all.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Thank you for your comment. It was the so called celebrity chefs that got me started after I retired. They make simple trasks and recipes look so complicated, I think it makes them feel important. I realise some of them are experts if their field. One in particular stands out, he certainly knows his stuff about making bread, but when he starts telling people how to make a pork pie, he's a joke.

[@1justpara]

@@MrPaulsPantry I agree. I wanted to try my hand at making an apple pie from scratch a couple of years ago (I'm not a fan of cooking and don't like it much so avoid it when I can) but decided to give it a try as I was bored one day. I found a cook book that was in the house, not belonging to me, I might add, a famous *woman* cook (not mentioning any names) and I couldn't even find 'apple pie' in the index. Can't remember what she had it listed under so I gave up, hahaha. I then resorted to youtube to find a recipe and gave that up too in the end. The endless ingredients and faffing about with pastry and make sure you use this ingredient and that ingredient etc. Nothing was ever just straight forward. Then I found your channel and have been eager to try a few things. I'll let you know how I get on. Thank you once again.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Don't forget, these days the shop bought pastry is very good indeed, I always keep some in my freezer for emergencies.

I live in Spain and my hubby loves the individual egg custard tarts you buy in Marks and Spencer etc.. I was trying to replicate the pastry, which as you probably know is not a crisp pastry but rather a soft one. What worked for me was using 25g of rice flour and 225 g of plain flour. I don't put sugar in it, I leave it just to the custard.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

The problem with shop bought custard tarts is the moisture from the filing permeates the pastry case making it soft. Then there is no contrast between the crispy pastry and the creamy custard which really is the beauty of a home made custard tart. That's the reason we never sold any the next day, made fresh every morning.

This recipe is great and easy to follow! My British husband loves it. We left UK over 20 years ago and tried to find proper custard tarts in Canada and in NZ but they mainly sell small custard tarts, not the deep dish ones! Anyway, regarding the recipe, the custard mixture measurement is perfect for 4 custard tarts and I used a 10.5cm diameter mold. However, I had left over pastry, enough for another tart perhaps. Baked at 170c for 40 mins for the custard to set. Thanks for the recipe, a taste of home back in UK!

I loved to pick these tarts up when living in the UK. I wish fellow Americans were as found of these as I am! 😆

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hi Eric, now you can make your own and enjoy one whenever you wish.

[@deborah3709]

thank you Mr. Paul!

[@brendarigdonsbrensden.8350]

one of my faves as a child from rathbones or sayers bakery

[@hicksonpj]

Made this many times since I first saw it and delicious every time. Mr Paul is quite right this tart needs no "nonsense" ingredients like cream or vanilla it is a good old fashioned tart which is best prepared exactly as in this recipe

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Well said Philip. thanks so much for taking the time to comment.

We live in Kentucky, USA. My grandmother and mother made this pie for me for my birthday every year since I can remember. It's heavenly.

[@peterRobinson10101]

i was surprised there was no vanilla in the custard. I always imagined it would be an ingredient. Thanks for the recipe.

[@idaspider3470]

Mr Paul, you are brilliant. Thank you for all that you do. Your channel is awesome. I have always wanted to cook a traditional type of custard tart.

Go for it Joe, they're easier than you think.

I've most times blind baked these tart shells even the small ones and hated doing it and I always added hot custard filling without the egg yolks, but after watching this video I am going to do it this way in future, so much less faffing around. Thanks so much Mr. Paul

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hi Jill, in my bakery both in the UK and here in Spain we made about 30 dozen every morning, can you imagine blind baking and hot fill in that lot???? You really only need to blind bake when the case is larger than say 6 inches across. Hoe this helps.

[@bakedbyjeffrey]

Nice recipe Mr. Paul. If there are any bubbles in the custard, a torch ( burnsomatic) creme brulee torch will get rid of the bubbles👍🤠

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Thanks Jeffrey, If you let it stand to rest as I mentioned, they will have gone by the time you come to bake it anyway.

[@christhompson4270]

Oh thank goodness for an easy way to make a custard tart, thank you thank you for sharing this awesome recipe 🙏🙏👍👍👏👏👏💖💖

[@MrPaulsPantry]

My pleasure Chris.😊 I hope you enjoy it.

[@butterfliesandtape]

Mr Paul, back again to double check on your custard tart recipe and glad to confirm absolutely no place for vanilla in an english egg custard tart!! Happy to see you back in good health, you had us worried a few months back. Hope you are doing well, sir! regards from Catalunya (again). Delicious tarts, I eat mine once just cooled to room temperature. A proper recipe,sir! Thanks again!

[@LaraineAnne]

It looks divine. Many thanks. I found the fact you don't use vanilla very interesting because, of course, it isn't so much the flavour of custard that we all enjoy so much; it's the texture. I wish my pie tins were as deep as yours. They look deeper anyway. They are now at least 50 years old and I wouldn't swap them for those non-stick things they sell these days.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

I've been a baker for 60 years and the only thing I have that's new is y Kenwood mixer it't the 2nd one I've ever owned and that's almost 30 years old.

[@janetmarsden8199]

I love your presentation Sir. Going g to make this today.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hope you enjoy it Janet.
