Preparation

Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F. Lightly grease a round 9 inch tart pan.

Roll pastry out between 2 sheets of parchment paper and use to line prepared pan, trimming edges. Chill for 10 mins. Line with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Blind bake for 10 mins. Remove paper and filling. Bake for another 10 mins. Reduce oven to 300\u00b0F.
Meanwhile, for the filling, whisk eggs, sugar and vanilla together. Mix custard powder with a little milk to form a smooth paste. Pour remaining milk and cream into a small saucepan. Blend in custard mixture until smooth. Heat gently, stirring, until milk is hot but not boiling. Gently whisk into egg mixture until just combined.
Strain custard into prepared tart shell. Sprinkle with nutmeg and bake for 20-25 mins, until just set. Let cool to room temperature then chill until cold. Serve with whipped cream.
