Baked Custard Tarts

[nickstock]

G Day fellow AusFisher's,

I meant to put this up for Greg a few months ago but I forgot.

This is a very simple recipe that will put the store bought rubbish that they call "Custard Tart's'' to shame.

I have searched high and low for the perfect Tart . In my search, I have eaten crap pastries’ from every corner of Australia (Ok I have encounted a few good Tarts too ).

Time to save the disappointment of the watery crap from the shops and make one for yourselves.
