2. Dissolve the cornstarch in a little of the milk.
Whisk the remaining milk, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and cornstarch
mixture into the sugar syrup. Gently bring to a boil, stirring until
smooth and thickened. Cover the custard and allow to cool.
3. Open out the sheet of pastry and roll out a
little more to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Cut the pastry into 4 inch circles
and use them to line a small bun pan. Refrigerate until the custard is
cool.
4. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Spoon the cooled
custard into the tart cases and bake for 20 minutes until the tarts are
golden brown.
5. Serve warm or at room temperature. |
