      TM 6
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation

    Short crust pastry, pastry shell, custard and topping
  1. Place butter, flour, icing sugar, salt, egg yolk and water in mixing bowl then mix for 30 seconds, speed 4.
    Remove contents onto a thermomat or floured surface, and bring together into a disc. Wrap in cling film and chill in fridge for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, clean mixing bowl and make custard.
  2. Place milk, 100 g caster sugar, the ginger, cinnamon quills and cardamon pods and heat. Set aside for the flavours to infuse for at least 1 hour
  3. After this time, remove ginger, cinnamon quills and cardamon pods, then add eggs, egg yolks, cornflour and remaining 100 g caster sugar then heat on thicken mode.

    Once done, transfer to a bowl, cover surface with a piece of cling film to prevent a skin forming then allow to cool to room temperature before placing in fridge.

    Meanwhile, clean mixing bowl and prepare pastry shell.
  4. Roll out chilled pastry between two pieces of cling film, or on a lightly floured surface, and use to line a round tart tin.

    Prick base with a fork then set aside in fridge for 45 mins.

    Towards the end of this time, preheat oven to 160°C. Line pastry shell with baking paper and fill with baking beans or uncooked rice then blind bake for 15 minutes (160°C). Remove baking beans or uncooked rice and paper then bake for a further 6-8 minutes (160°C) until pastry is golden brown.

    Set aside on a wire rack and allow to cool.
  5. Insert butterfly whisk in mixing bowl. Place cream and then, without measuring cup, whip until soft peaks form on speed 3, watching carefully to avoid over-whipping (or you'll end up with butter!)

    Add cooled custard and blend for 20 seconds on speed 3.

    Remove pastry case from tin, place on a serving plate then spoon custard into it.
  6. Add a thin layer of caster sugar and then using a blow torch, melt the sugar and form a crispy top. Then sprinkle with crushed pistachio nuts. You'll end up with something similar to Bourke street bakery's famous Ginger Creme Brûlée Tart (though not the same, it's a prettt good homemade version!)

    Or

    Decorate with fresh berries and pipe some cream in between.

    I would like to make this but I'm finding it very difficult to follow due to the wording being all messed up. Can this be fixed please.
