Ingredients
- 1 ready-made puff pastry roll
- 400 ml milk
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 whole egg
- 2 tablespoon plain flour
- 100 g caster sugar
- 1 vanilla pod
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and whole egg.
- Add the sugar, and whisk again.
- Sift in the flour, add the vanilla pod and pour in the milk.
- Whisk well to avoid lumps from forming.
- Transfer the mixture to a sauce pan and simmer on a low heat until it thickens.
- Remove from the heat and leave it to cool completely.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit, 160 fan oven).
- Transfer the puff pastry roll to a working surface and use a cookie cutter to cut 12 rounds that fit in the muffin tin holes.
- Press the rounds into the muffin tin holes and spoon in the custard cream evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden and the pastry is baked through and the custard is golden, and slightly brown.
- Allow them to cool, then use a sharp knife to ease up the edges and transfer the tarts to a plate.
- Once out of the oven, the custard will sink in, so not to worry if in the oven the tarts looked popped out.

- You can make the custard in advance and refrigerate it. The custard tastes so much better when it's cold, the vanilla flavour comes through a lot better rather than if you keep them a room temperature.
