Ingredients:
Pastry:
1 sheet of store-bought puff pastry, thawed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Custard Filling:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 large egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Start by preheating your oven to the desired temperature. This will ensure that your oven is hot and ready to bake your egg tarts when you're finished preparing them.
2. Prepare the pastry.
Roll out your thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Using a 2 ½ inch cookie cutter, cut out circles and place them into a greased muffin tin.
3. Make the custard filling.
In a saucepan, mix together the sugar and cornstarch. Gradually stir in the water, milk, and heavy cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks and slowly pour in the hot mixture while whisking constantly. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Assemble and bake the egg tarts.
Pour the custard filling into the prepared pastry shells, filling them about ¾ full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the custard is set.
5. Serve and enjoy!
Let the egg tarts cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature, and top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or powdered sugar if desired.
