Portuguese Custard Tarts
Portuguese Custard Tarts
- 8 oz. Ready-Made Puff Pastry, thawed
- 3/4 c. Ready-Made Custard
- 2 tbsp. Confectioners' Sugar
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F. Roll out the pastry and cut out twelve 13cm/5in rounds. Line a 12-hole patty tin (muffin pan) with the pastry rounds.
- 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.
- Spoon the custard into the pastry cases and dust with the icing sugar. Place the tarts under a preheated hot grill (broiler) and cook until the sugar carmelizes. Remove from the heat and leave to cool before serving.
