- Preparation: 30 min
- Cooking: 20 min
- Makes: 1 serving (153 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 35 g Puff pastry
- 60 g Milk, whole
- 15 g Cream, heavy
- 20 g Sugar
- 20 g Egg yolks, raw
- 3 g Cornstarch
- 0.1 g Cinnamon
- 0.3 g Lemon zest
Method
- Makes 1 tart; multiply every amount for as many as you need.
- Press the puff pastry into a small tart or muffin mould, pushing it thin against the base and sides so it comes up above the rim.
- Whisk the cornstarch with a splash of the milk until smooth, then heat the rest of the milk, cream, sugar and cinnamon in a pan until steaming.
- Whisk the cornstarch mixture and egg yolks together, then slowly pour in the hot milk while whisking, and return everything to the pan; cook over low heat, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened (it will finish setting in the oven).
- Strain the custard and pour it into the pastry case, filling almost to the top.
- Bake at 230 °C (450 °F) for 15-18 minutes until the pastry is deep golden and the custard is blistered and browned in spots on top; cool for a few minutes before eating warm.
