A nice addition to this is adding a hint of grated nutmeg! Absolutely supuerb! And cooking with kids is fantastic! A skill which is quite often over looked as something we should be teaching our Tamariki! Good on you!

I have been making them every week for years.We love it.I use the bero recipe and double the pastry and treble the custard filling so that it's nice and deep.Always sprinkle nutmeg on top before baking. Here's the pommie web site for the recipe. http://www.be-ro.com/f_insp.htm

I shot home at lunch, so here it is.
CUSTARD TART Pastry: 90g butter 1/4 cup sugar 1 1/4 cups plain flour 1/4 cup self raising flour
Beat butter until creamy, add sugar and beat until just combined. Add lightly beaten egg gradually, beating well after each addition. Work in two thirds of the sifted flours with a wooden spoon, then remaining flour by hand. Turn onto a lightly floured board, knead lightly till smooth. Refrigerate 30 mins before using. Roll pastry to line a greased 20cm pie tin. Handle pastry carefully, making sure there are no breaks, otherwise uncooked custard will seep through. Brush base and sides of pastry with a lightly beaten egg white to seal. Make decoartive edge on the pastry using the tip of a lightly floured spoon...just press gently. Beat eggs, vanilla and sugar together; heat milk to lukewarm, gradually stir into egg mixture. Put pie plate onto oven tray, gently pour half the custard mix into the shell ( I use a small jug with a good pouring lip) place pie into oven and then pour remaining custard into shell before sliding shelf into oven. Bake in moderate oven for 50-55 mins. After 15 mins cooking time, sprinkle with grated nutmeg. Do not overcook as custard will firm as it cools. Moderate oven is 190-200C
