Preparation
Buy ready-made short crust pastry dough, or make it from scratch before starting the custard.
For the custard:
- Take the vanilla bean, cut it with a knife and remove the black seeds and place in a bowl together with the sugar.
- Place milk into a pot and heat together with the empty vanilla pod. Switch off the heat as soon as it comes to a boil.
- In the meantime, whip the egg yolks with the sugar until light and foamy. Add the sifted four, mixing well.
- When the whipped egg is ready, turn the heat back on under the pot, and pour the whipped yolks with the flour.
- Then remove the pot from the flame and transfer the custard into a container large enough to spread it well. Cover it with plastic wrap, so that it adheres perfectly and does not form a hard outer skin.
- Place the container with the custard in the fridge to set.
- Roll out the short crust pastry dough onto a 24 cm tart pan to a height of half a centimeter, also covering the edges.
- Pour the custard inside the short crust shell and bake at 180° for about 35 minutes.
- Wash peaches and without peeling them, cut into same- sized 1/2 cm high slices.
- Bring to room temperature, and cover the entire surface with peach slices, starting from the edges and forming concentric circles until it is completely covered.
- Store the peach tart in the fridge and serve cold. Sprinkle with powered sugar and serve.
