I seem to have cocked up somewhere - I've made a dozen of these little tarts and have a huge mass of the rice/cream mixture hardening to concrete in the mixing bowl. Perhaps mine are a little too small - bite sized rather than (the six) 9cm across ones as the recipe dictates. Being bereft of such tart tins I had to make-do.
The recipe is from the new Great British Food magazine, written by dessert maestro James Martin. No idea where to get crab apples from, stewed crab apples being the recommended accompaniment. Still, with a little GU Vanilla ice-cream they were fab.
Kentish Pudding Pie Tarts
- 500g sweet shortcrust pastry
- 75g caster sugar
- 150ml double cream
- 250ml milk
- 100g ground rice
- 125g currants
- 2 eggs
- zest and juice of 1 lemon
- pinch of nutmeg
- icing sugar to serve
Oven to 200C/400F/G6. line six 9cm tart tins with pastry and blind-bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and cool a little.
Mix eggs and sugar.
Mix the cream and milk in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Pour onto the egg/sugar mixture and whisk. Pour everything back into the saucepan and return to the heat. Constantly stir until lightly thickened. Remove form heat. Add ground rice, nutmeg and lemon. Pour onto tart cases. Sprinkle currants over the top.
Bake for 10 minutes until just set and lightly golden.

Your mini tarts look wonderful. Crab Apples are grown in the UK. They are small, quite hard and extremely tart. They must be cooked and can't be eaten raw.

These look wonderful! Crabapples can be gotten from a friendly yard... just start asking around.

So do these guys have like an identity crisis or something? A pudding, a pie or a tart?! ;-) They sound really interesting - never thought of using ground rice in a sweet pastry but then again I've led a sheltered life...

These look great - I love rice pudding, so this seems like a natural progression to try.
