Desserts / Custard tart in pie maker
« on: July 17, 2012, 11:43:11 pm »
This is sort of a follow on from the huge thread about pie makers (about 30 pages).
I tried making the custard tarts using the pie maker recipe and can't say I'm impressed with the results.
Basically it was:
* 2 eggs in TMX, speed 3 10 seconds,
* Add 1 tbsp castor sugar, pinch cinnamon, 150mL milk, speed 3 10 seconds
Put pie bases in maker, spoon in liquid. Cook for 10 minutes.
My results:
1. Stuck to top.
2. Where touched the top looked more like sweet scrambled eggs.
3. Base (pre-made) not good enough
4. Mixture not sweet enough
5. Bases too dark, almost burnt.
Obviously 3 will be fixed next time by using the TMX shortcrust recipe and probably adding a bit of icing sugar.
I'm not sure about the recipe and procedure though. There's a recipe in this section using premade bases that cooks the mixture. Similar to this recipe but added vanilla as well.
Has anyone tried this in the pie maker?
Or something else that works well?
