I love Custard tarts but ones with a bit of something going on and these Portuguese tarts do it for me every time, they are super fast to make and taste great.
Ingredients
Pre rolled puff pastry
Cinnamon
125g Creme fraiche
1 tsp vanilla paste
5 tbsp golden caster sugar
1 egg
1 orange
Mix the Creme fraiche and the egg, vanilla paste, 1 tbsp of sugar plus the zest of the orange
unroll 1 sheet of the pastry (i did 2 sheets as we had a party) and liberally cover in cinnamon then roll back up again slice up into 6-8 bits and depending on how big the sheet is you have bought but roughly a good inch slice.
Sophie and i take each slice and shape into the muffin tin so there is a flat bottom and the sides of the tin are covered and we have a hole for the custard to go. These then need to be cook for 8 mins at 200c When the tarts come out of the oven they would have puffed so get a spoon and and press gently the pastry back to the side and fill each tart with the Creme fraiche mix and return to the oven for another 8 mins
Mean while boil up the remaining sugar with the juice from the orange until you make a caramel so when the tarts come out the oven they should still be a bit wobbly you can top them off by pouring the caramel over the top.
Mmmmm they sound delicious x

DeleteThey are fantastic! I've only ever tried to make these once, about 10 years ago, and I couldn't get them to work. I might have to give them a go again, now you've inspired me :) x
