    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.

    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!

    Decades ago, while visiting London, I encountered another Anerican tourist in a Tesco's. She asked me if I had seen any custard tarts.
    Turns out we were both fans of "As Time Goes By," and were curious to try the treat that the late Geoffrey Palmer was always popping off to buy.
    I'm going to make one in his honor - and to see whether they're all that.

    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
      @MrPaulsPantry  2 года назад +2

      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.

    Hi there, Paul! I’m so excited to find your recipe; no using of cream, just pure milk! (It’s rather difficult to find cream in residential areas of Singapore) Best is that your recipe doesn’t call for 2 different bake temperatures like some does! However, I wonder, if I’m to use a pie pan that’s about 8 inches, does the baking time remain as 25-30 min as those small ones you made??

    • @MrPaulsPantry
      @MrPaulsPantry  3 года назад +3

      Thanks for your comment, unfortunately, once you start going to a larger pan you WILL have to blind bake the pastry case. But once the custard is added the baking time is the same. I hope this help. Contact me anytime if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, I do appreciate that.

    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!

      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.

    BLISS! This is exactly like my mother used to make them, even down to the nutmeg.
    Is this custard the same as "egg custard" and "deep custard"? My mother used to make a trifle basically:-
    Layer of Sherry in a trifle bowl
    Swig of sherry from the bottle
    Layer of trifle sponges, sliced, with raspberry jam
    Swig of sherry from the bottle
    Layer of Ratafias
    Swig of sherry from the bottle
    Make a deep custard, IIRC exactly like yours, but made in a pan (no nutmeg)
    Swig of sherry from the bottle
    Pour the hot custard into the trifle bowl to within 12-15cm of the rim
    Swig of sherry from the bottle whilst the custard cooled
    Topped off with a layer of whipped cream
    Swig of sherry from the bottle
    And finally a sprinkling of hundreds and thousands
    Swig of sherry from the bottle
    Place in the fridge overnight
    All the sherry's gone.

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.
