- Preparation: 50 min
- Cooking: 35 min
- Makes: 1 serving (135 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 30 g Flour, all-purpose
- 25 g Butter, unsalted
- 20 g Sugar
- 15 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 0.4 g Baking powder
- 30 g Milk, whole
- 8 g Egg yolks, raw
- 4 g Cornstarch
- 0.3 g Vanilla extract
- 2 g Spirits
Method
- Cream the butter and sugar, beat in the egg, then mix in the flour and baking powder to a soft, slightly sticky dough; chill 30 minutes.
- For the filling, whisk the egg yolk with a little sugar and the cornstarch, whisk in the hot milk and vanilla, then cook over low heat, stirring, until thickened into a custard; stir in the rum and cool.
- Press two-thirds of the dough into a tart tin, spread with the cooled custard filling, then top with the rest of the dough, sealing the edge.
- Score a lattice pattern on top with a fork.
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 35-40 minutes, for a full cake, until golden; a single slice's worth bakes in about 20 minutes. Cool before slicing.
