Ingredients

  • 500 pastry crust sweet
  • servings nutmeg good
  • 0.3  ground cinnamon 
  • medium eggs 
  • 100 sugar 
  • 200 ml double cream 
  • 200 ml milk whole
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract 
  • 100 blackberries 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • sauce pan
  • oven
  • whisk
  • sieve
  • serrated knife
  • grater

Directions

  1. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 0.5cm thick. Grate over a dusting of nutmeg using a fine grater, then scatter over the cinnamon in pinches.
  2. Roll the pastry a few more rolls to press in the spices.
  3. Cut out circles to line 6 x 10cm round, deep-ish individual tart tins, with a little overhang. Sit them on a baking sheet and chill for 30 mins.
  4. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas
  5. Line the tart cases with small pieces of scrunched-up baking parchment, fill with baking beans and blind-bake for 15-20 mins until pale golden and set.
  6. Remove the paper and beans, and bake for a further 10-15 mins until biscuity. Cool, then trim the edges with a small, sharp serrated knife.
  7. Reduce oven to 150C/130C fan/gas
  8. Whisk together the eggs and sugar in a large bowl.
  9. Put the cream, milk and vanilla into a saucepan and bring to the boil.
  10. Pour onto the egg mixture, whisking as you go, then sieve into a jug. Divide the blackberries between the tins, then pour over the custard to fill as much as you can. Grate over some more nutmeg and bake for 20-30 mins. Theyll be ready when the top is set but the centres tremor slightly when the baking sheet is jiggled. Cool completely before eating.
