Thread: Custard Tarts

    Custard Tarts

    I know that this is not a seafood related thread. But an incident tonight made me ponder this. I was doing the late 'we are out of bread' trip to the local supermarket, and they had family sized custard tarts on special for $2 each...so I thought...brownie points...grab one for desert tonight.

    I have to state up front I do not have a sweet tooth in any way shape or form, so this was a treat for the rest of the mob. Put it in the fridge when i got home. Took it out of the fridge after dinner and left it on the bench for everyone to have a piece when they felt like it. 11yo niece said it was watery, mum said it was ok when she had a piece, sis said it was ok, but had been out of the fridge a bit too long.

    I had always like the baked custard tarts that you got from the proper bakeries, but i cant come at the ones that need to be chilled to attain consistency..i think they are bland.

    What do you guys prefer.....baked custard tarts....or chilled custard tarts?

    Baked definately. The texture is totally different with the chilled ones and just doesn't seem to taste the same.

    Store bought Tarts are watery and Caramel tarts are never the real caramel
    Baked is the only option

    Thanks guys. Now that you have confirmed my faith in the true fishos taste buds......where the hell do you get the good baked custard tarts anywhere near the Reddy Peninsula? (dead set giveaway is that with the baked ones the custard sinks down below the pastry rim, and even sometimes has little fissures in the custard....whereas the chilled ones the custard bulges above the rim and are very light in colour).

    I cant believe that NO bakery in Brissy or the surrounds does baked custard tarts! Surely someone out there knows of one?
