Preheat the oven to 180° C. Put the flour, the sugar, the egg, the pieces of butter, the yeast and the wine in a bowl.

Bake for 30 minutes until the surface becomes golden. In the meantime prepare the egg custard. Divide the yolks from the white eggs (that are not necessary for this preparation). Pour the yolks into a bowl and whisk with the sugar.

Then add the flour and mix until pale yellow and thick. Now,stirring continuously, add slowly the milk and add the lemon peel.

Move the mixture in a pot and let it cook on a low flame mixing continuously.

When the mixture boils, remove the lemon peel and cook slowly for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Leave the egg custard to cool.

When the tart is ready,

spread on its surface the egg custard as shown in the picture below.

Now place, as you prefer, the currant, the blueberries, the raspberries and the blackberries on the surface of the egg custard.

At the end brush the tart with jelly. This is the result:
