Flan Tart Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet puff pastry
• 2 cups (500ml) milk
• 4 large eggs
• 1 vanilla pod or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Roll out the puff pastry and press it into a tart tin. Prick the base with a fork to prevent puffing during baking. Refrigerate the pastry shell while preparing the filling.
2. Heat the Milk:
   In a medium saucepan, heat the milk with the split vanilla pod (or add vanilla extract) over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture turns pale and creamy.
4. Add Cornstarch and Milk:
   Gradually whisk the cornstarch into the egg mixture. Slowly pour in the hot milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
5. Thicken the Custard:
   Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the custard thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
6. Add Cream:
   Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the heavy cream until smooth and well combined.
7. Fill the Tart Shell:
   Pour the custard into the prepared puff pastry shell, spreading it evenly.
8. Bake:
   Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set and the pastry is golden brown.
9. Cool and Serve:
   Let the flan tart cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
