Fruit Tart

      Hi, Hi, I'm really sorry I know I haven't posted in like, a week? I know, things have been crazy, I had... 6 tests this week. Yea that's a lot, but I have 2 amazing recipes I'd like to share with you! Both I've tried in Home Economics class. So they're A-Okay.

There are never any good tart quotes.

Fruit Tart  with Instant Custard Sauce

Ingredients

Pastry
50g butter
100g flour
2 tablespoons water
pinch of salt

Custard
2 tablespoons of BIRD'S custard powder
2 tablespoons of sugar
570ml milk

Fruit Toppings
Blueberries
Strawberries
Kiwi
Peach (canned)

Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
Rub butter into flour with fingertips.
Add water all at once to mixture and mix to form a dough.
Knead pastry lightly with fingertips until smooth.
Cover the pastry with cling wrap and allow to rest in chiller for 15 minutes.
Shape pastry on two greased metal tart moulds and bake blind for 20 to 25 mins.
For the custard put 2 tablespoons of the powder into a bowl with 2 tablespoons of sugar.
Mix smoothly with 2 tablespoons milk taken from the 570ml.
Heat the rest of the milk in a sauce pan & stir to cook till boiling.
When almost boiling, pour in the contents of the bowl and stir till well-thickened.
Take out the baked pastries & cool before un-moulding the pastry shells.
Scoop custard into pastries and start decorating them with your sliced fruit.
Be creative, and hurry up before the custard hardens!

      Do it right and It'll taste HEAVENLY. I'm serious. And don't wait till it's cold. Wow okay so over the next few days I'll post the other recipe: Sardine Puffs. May not sound as mouth-watering, but if I can eat it, it's good food.
