Peach Tart

So what is the difference between a pie, tart, or flan??? see this link at the Pastry sampler
Peach tart adapted from the "Joy of Cooking"
Preheat oven to 400
Line a tart pan with a pie dough (see below) I used a whole double crust, what can I say I like crust.

Line the tart shell with sliced peaches (mine were cut into eighths)










Combine

2 eggs yolks
2 tbsp flour
2/3 to 1 cup sugar
1/3 cup melted butter
pour this mixture over the sliced peaches.




Bake 15 minutes at 400, then reduce the heat to 300 and bake 50 minutes longer.

looks and sounds yummy. How is the flavour...is it a sweet heavy custard?

It is sweet but not overly, and the custard is light.
