Scottish Cooking, Custard Pies

On your tour of scotland you might find some very good examples of this great Scottish Food!

Thoroughly mix the egg yolks and the sugar. Set aside. Heat the cream and vanilla in a double saucepan, bring to an almost-boil, but do not let fully boil. Pour this onto the egg yolk-sugar mixture under constant stirring until smooth. Stir until the whole mixture thickens, then pour into ready-made pastry tart shells and chill, preferably overnight. Before serving, sprinkle lightly with the extra sugar, then pass very quickly under the broiler to turn the sugar topping into a nice golden 'crust.'
