read moreSuper Simple Old Fashioned Egg Custard Tart
This Super Simple Old Fashioned Egg Custard Tart is a dessert from my childhood. You used to be able to find slices of it in bakeries, on school menus and in restaurants. It has fallen from favour over the years. Being deemed old-fashioned and boring. But I still love it! There is something so lovely about its simplicity.

Traditionally the custard is a rich mix of egg yolks and double cream,...
