Custard Tarts: one for each hip

7 Comments

When we saw Bill Granger make these on his Bills Food show (broadcast by the BBC right after Saturday Kitchen) Ed started to shout: “I want those!”. Before the program was half finished we were making them ourselves. So if you have some ready made puff pastry lying around, and your eggs look fresh and ready…start making them too. Of course you can also make your own (rough) puff pastry. Before you know it your kitchen will smell like a little French patisserie… [Read More...]
