Recipe

Custard Tart

  • Take one Friesan Holstein pure-dairy cow
  • At 15 - 18 months bring into season with the growth hormone prostaglandin
  • Artificially inseminate with semen from a Friesan Holstein bull
  • Expect calf to be born withinin 2 months
  • Within 24 - 48 hours of birth remove calf
  • If the calf is male either shoot or electrocute and incinerate
  • Place mother in milking parlour and take anything up to 30 litres of milk twice a day
  • If the calf is female place singly in hutch for no more than 8 weeks
  • Feed 'milk replacers' from artificial teats or buckets
  • After 60 days of giving birth bring mother into season with the growth hormon prostaglandin and impregnate again to ensure that cows continue to produce milk
  • After 8 weeks transfer female calves to rearing pens (they are will be needed as replacements for 'spent' cows)
  • Milk yield can be increased by keeping cows in sheds and feeding high protein feeds supplemented with anti-biotics and with a minimum of 6 hours of darkness
  • To make the tarts take fresh cream and place in a saucepan and when the cream simmers whisk in beaten eggs and sugar.
  • Pour the mixture into a tart tin lined with pastry and bake in oven for 30 - 40 minutes
