    Made a scaled down version and used smaller serving size 'tart pans' - wish that I could have added a photo! The crust easy and a delicious shell for the filling. Filling went together so well - nothing like the whisks and heavy bottomed pots we have these days for the making of puddings! Perfect for the cool and chilly June days we had last week.

    This was wonderful. I only made the filling and used a store bought pie crust. The filling tastes just like rice pudding and the filling recipe would be great to use on its own as a nice hot custard. I mixed the eggs, flour, corn flour, vanilla in a bowl then slowly poured the hot milk/butter mixture into the flour/egg mix while mixxing it. mixing it this way is easier because it does not form lumps. Then I put it all back in the saucepan and thickened the custard. Thankyou for this recipe

    I made this tart for Easter dinner and it was easy to make and delicious. I halved the recipe and used a single 10 inch springform pan. After coming to room temp, I placed the tart in the fridge for an hour. The fridge helped firm up the tart and I was surprised how nicely it sliced. I will be making this again! Thanks for posting.
