A Kent school dinner favourite
Heatcoven to 190c
Put a baking sheet in the oven to get hot.
Sieve the flour into a bowl. Using your fingertips, rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add the egg and 1-2 tbsp water to mix to a firm dough.
Wrap in clingfilm and leave to rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use to line a tart tin, leaving any excess overhanging the edge. Line with baking parchment, put on baking beans or rice and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the beans and parchment and return to the oven for a further 5-10 minutes until golden. Leave to cool then, using a sharp knife, trim the top of the pastry case.
Tip the evaporated milk and sugar into a large bowl and, using an electric mixer on whisk together on full power for 15 minutes until the mixture resembles a light coffee-coloured, creamy foam that doesn’t quite hold peaks.
Pour the mixture into the tart tin and bake for 20 minutes on the hot baking sheet.
When cooked, the filling should be lightly set and have a sticky surface
Leave to set overnight in the fridge.

This is the ultimate gorgeous yummy pud. When we had American visitors I used to serve this with quenelles of clotted cream and the guests used to dissolve into puddles of yumness.
Who’s not a fan of a firmer tart?
Thank you. Been looking for this for a long time.
It’s like a secret code word – if someone knows what you are talking about, then you know that they’re from Kent or Sarf London!
