Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the puff pastry with another type of dough?
Yes, you can substitute puff pastry with a shortcrust pastry or a pie crust if you prefer a different texture. Keep in mind that the baking time may vary slightly depending on the dough you choose.
How should I store the custard tart after baking?
Once the custard tart has cooled to room temperature, it can be stored in the refrigerator. Cover it with plastic wrap or a lid, and it will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
What should I do if my custard mixture does not thicken?
If the custard mixture doesn't thicken, make sure you are cooking it over medium heat while stirring continuously. If it remains too liquid, you can dissolve an additional tablespoon of cornstarch in a little cold milk and whisk it into the mixture, then return it to heat until thickened.
