📝 Ingredients

1 ready-made shortcrust pastry

3 eggs

100g caster sugar

1 sachet vanilla sugar

80g flour

1 liter whole milk

2 tablespoons brown sugar

A little butter for the tin

👩‍🍳 Detailed preparation

1️⃣ Prepare the tin

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Lightly butter a tart tin and then line it with the shortcrust pastry. Prick the base with a fork.

2️⃣ Make the custard filling

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the caster sugar and vanilla sugar until the mixture is pale and creamy.

Gradually add the flour, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

3️⃣ Heat the milk

Pour the milk into a saucepan and heat it until it just begins to simmer.

💡 For extra flavor, add a split vanilla bean or a teaspoon of vanilla extract.

4️⃣ Mix in the egg mixture

Gradually pour the hot milk over the egg-sugar-flour mixture, whisking continuously.

5️⃣ Thicken the custard

Pour the mixture back into the saucepan.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until you have a thick, smooth cream.

6️⃣ Filling the tart

Immediately pour the cream over the pastry base.

Smooth the surface with a spatula.

Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top.

7️⃣ Baking

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and lightly caramelized.

8️⃣ Cooling

Let cool completely before unmolding.

Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours for the perfect texture.

💡 Grandma's Tips

✅ Prepare the day before: it will be even better the next day.

✅ Add a little rum or orange blossom water for a different flavor.

✅ For a beautiful caramelized crust, place the tart under the broiler for 2 minutes at the end of baking.
