Egg Custard Tart - Custard Tart Recipe
"Baked Egg Custard Tart is an all-time classic British food. As a child I have fond memories of my mum baking Egg Custard Tarts for Sunday tea. A Baked Egg Custard Tart is so quick and easy to make and is delicious eaten slightly warm, with a slightly wobbly center or left to go cold when the tart will be more firm. At home we always called this tart an Egg Custard but you will also hear it called Custard Tart, Custard Pie, or Baked Egg Custard...."
