Ingredients You'll Need
The Tart Crust
To make the perfect tart crust, you will need all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, butter, egg yolks, and ice water. These simple ingredients come together to create a flaky and buttery crust that will hold the custard filling.
The Custard Filling
The star of the show is the creamy custard filling, which requires heavy cream, milk, sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. The key to a smooth and velvety custard is to slowly heat the ingredients and constantly stir to prevent any lumps from forming.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Tart Crust
To start, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse sand. Mix in the egg yolks and ice water until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Roll and Cut the Dough
After chilling, roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter or a glass. Place the dough circles into a greased muffin tin, pressing gently to form the tart crusts.
Step 3: Make the Custard Filling
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream, milk, and sugar over medium heat until it starts to simmer. In a separate bowl, mix together the cornstarch and egg yolks. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook until it thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4: Assemble and Bake
Pour the custard filling into the tart crusts, filling them about ¾ full. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F for 20 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the filling is set. Let the tarts cool for 10 minutes before removing them from the muffin tin.
