- First make the pastry: Beat butter until creamy, add sugar, beat until just combined. Add beaten egg gradually, beating well after each addition. Over creaming at this stage will make pastry difficult to handle.
- Work in 2/3 of sifted flours with a wooden spoon, then remaining flour by hand. Turn on to a lightly floured board, knead lightly until smooth. Refrigerate 30 minutes before using.
- For the filling: Roll pastry on lightly floured board, carefully line a greased 20cm tart plate. Pinch edges decoratively.
- Beat eggs, vanilla & sugar together; warm milk, gradually stir into egg mixture. Carefully spoon custard into pastry case.
- Bake in a moderate oven for 30-35 minutes. After 15 minutes cooking time, sprinkle with nutmeg.

My son made this at school for GCSE catering. It was lovely, but he should have taken a deeper flan tin as the pastry rose a bit in the middle and there was quite a lot of custard filling. (Also it doesn't say which type of sugar to use, so we settled on icing sugar for the pastry and caster for the filling & this was fine) - 31 Mar 2011

Really easy to make and didn't need any ingredients i didn't have so it's convenient too! It was a family favorite i have never made before and it lived up to expatiation's, i made it with caster sugar in both the filling and the pastry and that worked fine. I also chose to do it in ramekins and a flan dish because i don't own a tart plate and it worked fine yummy, would recommend to any one! - 22 Apr 2012
