I did manage to save a dinky one until my lovely hubby came home but the majority of them were scoffed down in two or three bites.
Why are these so easy, well let me tell you.
Use ready made sweet pastry and a Greens Egg custard mix.
1 hour later delicious tarts for all.
Take fresh pastry and roll out on a floured surface.
Line all your flan/tart dishes with the pastry. Fill with ceramic baking beads and blind bake for around 12-15 minutes until golden.
Whilst your tart cases are baking, follow the instructions on the packet of the egg custard mix.
Take out cases and pour in the custard mix.
Place in a refridgerator for 1-2 hours until set.
Dust the top with Nutmeg.
Devour mini tarts in one bite and let the kids gobble the rest.

what are the ceramic baking beads ? x
ReplyDeleteHello there.
ReplyDeleteThey are just baking beads made from ceramic that you pop in your uncooked pastry case before you put it in the oven.
They keep the bottom of the pastry case flat (not allowing it to rise) whilst it bakes.
You just remove them when you take the case out to fill with your filling.
Mine are Tala ceramic baking beads and they retail at about £4.99.
Hope this helps
Love
