Steps
- Lightly grease the inside of muffin tins with Vegetable Oil.
- Roll out the frozen puff pastry and cut out circles of approximately 10.5cm using a cookie cutter. Tip: Work with the pastry when it's semi-frozen. If it sticks to the rolling pin, dust it with All-Purpose Flour or Cake Flour.
- Line the muffin tins with the cut puff pastry circles.
- Prick the bottom and sides of the pastry with a fork to create air holes. Tip: This prevents the pastry from puffing up too much.
- Line with aluminum foil or parchment paper, and place weights (raw rice or azuki beans) on top.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 15 minutes.
- Gather the leftover puff pastry, roll it out to the same thickness as the original sheets.
- Brush the surface of the rolled-out pastry with Milk and sprinkle with Granulated Sugar.
- Cut the pastry into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 15-20 minutes. (Variation pastry is ready)
- Remove the aluminum foil and weights from the baked pastry shells.
- Return the pastry shells (without weights) to the oven preheated to 200°C (390°F) and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Tip: This ensures the bottom of the shells are thoroughly cooked.
- In a saucepan, add the 2 Egg Yolks and lightly whisk them. Tip: Use a silicone whisk to avoid scratching the pan.
- Add 100ml Milk and mix well.
- Add 40g Granulated Sugar and mix quickly.
- Add 100ml Heavy Cream and mix well.
- Sift in 10g Cake Flour and mix well to avoid lumps.
- Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching, until thickened. Tip: As it thickens, increase your stirring speed and slightly reduce the heat. Once the mixture is uniformly thickened, stir rapidly over low heat for about 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and let the custard cool. Adjust sweetness by adding more Granulated Sugar if needed.
- Spoon the custard into the pre-baked tart shells.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 15-20 minutes.
- Let cool after baking. Tip: Baking times may vary depending on your oven, so adjust as needed. Start by working with semi-frozen puff pastry.
