Method
-
Combine all custard ingredients in a saucepan and whisk until smooth and combined.
-
Bring to boil over a medium heat, stirring/whisking constantly. Boil for 2 minutes still stirring until thickened. Turn off the heat and set aside.
-
Set oven to 230ºC and grease a 12 hole muffin tin.
-
Roll out the shortcrust pastry into a square. Roll up the pastry into a sausage shape. Cut the ‘sausage’ into 12 even pieces. Roll each piece out flat into a round shape, press into the muffin holes.
-
Whisk the custard again, take out the cinnamon stick. Fill the pastry holes until 2/3rds full, do not overfill.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the pastry is nicely brown at the edges and the custard has firmed up and has the brown marks on the custard traditional on custard tarts.
-
Let the tarts cool in the tin before taking them out.

After holidaying in Madeira over the years we got used to having a custard tart with our afternoon cuppa. I have tried several recipes to match the local produce but her indoors says this is the best yet! Can't get a better recommendation than that! Could not believe you can get this result without eggs and as a diabetic I am very pleased to find a Trivia recipe. Thank you Baking Mad.
