My discovery of the Custard Tart or the flan pâtissier was by chance. As I said in the recipe of rabbit in mustard sauce, I sometimes make mistakes when ordering food. While I ask for recommendations very often, many times I have ordered without knowing exactly what it was, usually when the translation into Spanish is close. But that has brought me some surprises, as the day I order flan for desert and they came with this baked custard tart.
