Steps:

  • 1. Traditional Medieval French Custard Tarte Tarte Médiévale... This delicious flan in a pie crust is not only typical of medieval dessert recipes, but is also a real pleasure to the palette! Enjoy! Preparation Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 30 minutes Ingredients: 4 cups Milk 4 Eggs 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar 1/4 cup Cornstarch (optional) Pinch of Nutmeg 1 - 2 tsp. Cinnamon Butter and flour for Pie dish 1 Pie or Tarte Crust (see bottom of page for a delicious and easy crust recipe!) How to Make It: Preheat oven to 450°F 1. Combine milk and sugar in a pot and gently bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool. 2. Mix cornstarch with 3/4 cup of water and then stir into warm milk. Put milk back on a low heat, and stirring constantly bring to a boil and then remove from heat. 3. Beat the eggs well, and then gently stir into the milk until homogenous. 4. Butter and flour pie dish. Roll out pie crust and place in dish. Pour in milk mixture and bake for 30 minutes. Let cool off before serving. Voilà! Tip: You can make this tarte earlier in the day and let stand at room temperature. Variations: If you would rather make a crustless flan, go right ahead by following this recipe! The only difference is that you will want to cook the flan in a bain-marie (double-boiler). In fact, crustless custards were also very typical among medieval dessert recipes... so, don't worry, you'll be just as authentic! The most common spices for medieval dessert recipes were: cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, saffron, and cloves. So, feel free to make your own combinations with this recipe! Cheese Custard Tarte Recipe Tarte au Fromage Blanc... This creamy tarte provides another sumptuous variation to French medieval desserts. It's not quite as authentic (it has flour) as the traditional custard tarte above, but it's just as delicious! And, it's very easy to make! Enjoy! Preparation Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 40 to 45 minutes Ingredients: 1 lb. Fromage Blanc (or sour cream) 2 cups Crème Fraîche (or heavy cream) 2 Eggs 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar 1/3 cup Flour Butter and flour for Pie dish 1 Pie or Tarte Crust (see bottom of page for a delicious and easy crust recipe!) How to Make It: Preheat oven to 375°F 1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir well, until homogenous. 2. Butter and flour a pie or tarte dish. Roll out crust and place in dish. Pour custard into crust and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool before serving. Voilà! Tip: You can make this tarte earlier in the day and let stand at room temperature. Variations: If you would like to add any of the typical medieval desserts spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, saffron, cloves) go right ahead and experiment! Just don't add too many in one tarte, it will overpower the natural and delicate taste. You can also substitute the sour cream with cottage cheese. French fromage blanc is actually a beat version of our textured cottage cheese. Crust Recipe for Medieval Tartes Here is a delicious crust recipe that will perfectly accompany these medieval dessert recipes. If you don't feel like making your own pie crust, just use a good pre-made one! Preparation Time: 10 minutes Refrigeration: 30 minutes Ingredients for Crust: 1 1/3 cup Flour 2 Eggs 4 oz. Butter (chilled!) 1 tbsp. Granulated Sugar Pinch of Salt How to Make Crust: 1. Mix salt, sugar, and flour. 2. Cut chilled butter into small pieces and mix into flour with finger tips. Stop working batter once it looks like "sand". 3. Make a well and pour in eggs. Incorporate into flour using your fingers and a spatula. 4. Once homogenous, form a ball, place on a floured surface and knead for 10 seconds. Reshape into a ball, roll out with a rolling pin, and refrigerate for 30 minutes before rolling out. Voilà! Again, if you don't feel like making your own crust, just use a good pre-made one!
