Custard Tart

A custard tart is a baked tart of an outer pastry crust filled with custard, traditionally associated with both France and the United Kingdom and typically made from shortcrust pastry, egg and custard, usually served cold. The word custard traces to the Anglo Norman crustade, itself meaning a kind of pie, and medieval recipes from as early as the 14th century already combined a pastry case with a filling of cream, milk or broth mixed with eggs and a sweetener such as sugar or honey and sometimes spices; some of these early versions even included savory ingredients such as minced pork or beef marrow, though the custard filling itself was always sweetened.
