Little Portuguese Tarts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup granulated sugar
3 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
4 None egg yolks
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp custard powder
2 1/4 cups milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F. Grease 3 - 12-cup muffin pans.
Combine cinnamon and 1/3 cup sugar. Sprinkle liberally over puff pastry then roll each sheet up tightly. Cut each into 12 rounds. Place, cut-side down, on a clean work surface. Using your fingers, roll each round into a 3 1/2 inch circle then use to line muffin pans. Chill.
Meanwhile, whisk together remaining sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch and custard powder until just combined. Bring milk and vanilla to a boil then whisk into egg mixture. Return to saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and thickens. Distribute between prepared pans and bake for 15 mins, or until pastry is golden and custard just set. Let cool in pans.
Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar then use a kitchen blowtorch to caramelize.
