CUSTARD FILLING
Source : Rinn

Ingredients :

2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons custard powder or cornflour (I use custard powder)
8 tablespoons sugar
2 cups (500ml) fresh milk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons butter

Method :

1. Mix flour and custard powder/cornflour in a pot and add 2 tablespoons fresh milk. Stir to mix.
2. Add in egg and mix.
3. Add in balance of the milk.
4. Cook on low fire and stir continuously till the mixture is smooth and not lumpy ..I use whisk to stir the   custard
5. Once the mixture thickens and shiny, it's ready. Remove from fire and allow to cool. Ready to use.

TO ASSEMBLE :

1. Pipe the custard into the tart shells. I used a piping bag with a star nozzle to do the trick.
2. Arrange the fruits of your choice.
