Old School Toffee Tart Recipes

TOFFEE CREAM TART

Steps:

• 7 inch pastry case ready cooked. Either your own or bought. I tend to buy fresh pastry and line my pie dish and bake blind until cooked. My the ready cooked ones are very sweet & tasty.
• Melt the margarine and sugar, then stir in the flour. Whisk in the hot milk and stir as it thickens and reaches boiling point.
• Keep stirring all the time while you are waiting for the mixture to boil, then cook for 2-3 minutes stirring all the time.
• Remove from the heat, and add the syrup, then whisk the mixture.
• Spread the filling into the flan case and serve hot or place in the fridge to cool & serve with whipped cream or custard, or anything you want, I like it on its own. But I do put grated chocolate on for my grand children.
