Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 250 milliliters Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 pieces Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and sprinkle it with ground cinnamon evenly.
Step 3
Roll the pastry tightly into a log shape and cut into 12 equal slices.
Step 4
Using your thumbs, press each pastry slice into the cups of a 12-hole muffin tin, creating a thin base and sides for each tart shell. Set aside while preparing the filling.
Step 5
In a small saucepan, combine sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
Step 6
Cook the mixture over medium heat while whisking, until it thickens to a creamy consistency, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 7
Stir in vanilla extract, lemon zest, and egg yolks until smooth. Allow the custard to cool slightly.
Step 8
Fill each pastry shell with the custard mixture, being careful not to overfill.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tarts are golden brown on top and the pastry is crisp.
Step 10
Allow the tarts to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy these delightful Portuguese custard tarts!
