    Steps

    1. Lightly grease the inside of muffin tins with Vegetable Oil.
    2. 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.
    3. Line the muffin tins with the cut puff pastry circles.
    4. 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.
    5. Line with aluminum foil or parchment paper, and place weights (raw rice or azuki beans) on top.
    6. Place on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 15 minutes.
    7. Gather the leftover puff pastry, roll it out to the same thickness as the original sheets.
    8. Brush the surface of the rolled-out pastry with Milk and sprinkle with Granulated Sugar.
    9. Cut the pastry into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    10. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 15-20 minutes. (Variation pastry is ready)
    11. Remove the aluminum foil and weights from the baked pastry shells.
    12. 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.
    13. In a saucepan, add the 2 Egg Yolks and lightly whisk them. Tip: Use a silicone whisk to avoid scratching the pan.
    14. Add 100ml Milk and mix well.
    15. Add 40g Granulated Sugar and mix quickly.
    16. Add 100ml Heavy Cream and mix well.
    17. Sift in 10g Cake Flour and mix well to avoid lumps.
    18. 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.
    19. Remove from heat and let the custard cool. Adjust sweetness by adding more Granulated Sugar if needed.
    20. Spoon the custard into the pre-baked tart shells.
    21. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 15-20 minutes.
    22. 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.
