To make this Egg Custard Tart, you will need the following ingredients:
For the pastry crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 2-3 tablespoons ice water
For the custard filling:
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
To make the pastry crust, combine the flour, butter, and sugar in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and pulse again until the dough comes together. Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is moist but not sticky. Roll out the dough and place it in a 9-inch tart pan. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
To make the custard filling, heat the milk and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve and pour it into the chilled pastry crust.
Bake the Egg Custard Tart in a preheated oven at 350°F for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the crust is golden brown. Let the tart cool to room temperature before serving.
