Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F
- For the poppy seed crust, combine the flour, melted butter, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and poppy seeds in a bowl and mix until all dry flour is incorporated and a dough forms. It will be slightly crumbly, but will hold together when pressed between your fingers.
- Pat the dough into four mini tart pans with removable bottoms, and put the tart shells in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- For the filling, whisk the ingredients together well, making sure the eggs are thoroughly incorporated.
- Pour the mixture through a strainer and then into the mini tart shells. (Note ~ before filling them, place your tart shells on a baking sheet, that way they'll be a lot easier to transfer to the oven. The baking sheet will capture any leaks that might happen during cooking, too.)
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the filling is cooked through. You should have a very slight wobble in the middle of the tarts, but nothing that still feels liquid-y. The shortbread tart shells should be lightly golden.
- Let the tarts cool at room temperature completely in the tart pans, then remove the tarts from the tart pans, and top with powdered sugar when ready to eat.
Notes
- Each of these tarts will serve 2 people.
- Tart filling lightly adapted from Donna Hay
