What is a custard tart?<\/h2>\n

Custard tarts are traditional British desserts<\/a> that have been part of the cuisine since at least the Middle Ages. Enjoyed by everyday citizens and royalty alike, the treats have a shortcrust pastry, an egg custard filling and a nutmeg dusting on top. They can be made as small, bite-sized tarts or as larger tarts for slicing and sharing, like a classic treacle tart<\/a>.<\/p>\n
