Tarte à la Bouillie
Method
Preparation
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add vanilla extract and enough cold water to form a dough. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Custard
In a saucepan, whisk together eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.
Blind Bake the Crust
Line the crust with parchment paper, fill with pie weights, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove weights and parchment and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden brown.
Combine Custard and Caramel Sauce
Pour the prepared custard into the baked crust. For the caramel, in a saucepan, melt brown sugar and rum over medium heat until caramelized. Stir in heavy cream until smooth.
Assemble and Serve
Drizzle the rum caramel sauce over the custard-filled tart. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
