  • 3/4 c. Ready-Made Custard
  • 2 tbsp. Confectioners' Sugar

  • Line each pastry round with a circle of baking parchment and some baking beans or uncooked rice.
  • Bake the tarts for 10-15 minutes, or until the pastry is cooked through and golden. Remove the paper and baking beans or rice and set aside to cool.
