step by step

Method

  1. Preheat the oven

    • Preheat the oven to 200 °C with both top and bottom heat.
    Step 1

  2. Prepare the pastry cups

    • Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into 12 uniform pieces.
    • Place the pastry pieces into the cups of a muffin tin and press them so the pastry lines the cups and extends upwards.
    Step 2

  3. Make the sugar syrup

    • In a small pot over medium heat, simmer the sugar and water until a pearly consistency is achieved.
    • Remove the syrup from the heat and set aside.
    Step 3

  4. Cook the milk pudding

    • Dissolve the cornstarch in a bit of the milk to avoid lumps.
    • Add the cinnamon sticks and lemon peels to a small pot with the remaining milk and bring almost to a boil.
    • Add the dissolved cornstarch and simmer while stirring constantly until a pudding-like consistency forms.
    Step 4

  5. Combine syrup and infuse

    • Remove the pot from the heat and gradually incorporate the sugar syrup into the milk mixture while stirring continuously.
    • Let the mixture steep, then remove the cinnamon sticks and lemon peels.
    Step 5

  6. Add the egg yolks

    • Mix the egg yolks with a few spoonfuls of the pudding mixture.
    • Slowly incorporate the egg yolk mixture into the pudding.
    Step 6

  7. Strain the filling

    • Strain the pudding mixture through a sieve to achieve a smooth consistency.
    Step 7

  8. Fill the pastry cups

    • Evenly pour the pudding into the puff pastry cups, leaving some space around the edges.
    Step 8

  9. Bake the tarts

    • Bake the tarts in the preheated oven until they turn golden brown and crispy.
    Step 9

  10. Cool and serve
