Portuguese Tarts

I make these a lot, I make them in mini tart size, and man size.  We all love them, and it's a great way of using left over bits of eggs that I have from other things.  This morning I made raspberry friands, which used 4 egg whites.  So this time, I used the 4 left over yolks to make the custard.  They are pretty forgiving when it comes to messing around with quantities.  I wouldn't be using all egg whites and no yolks, but sometimes I will use 2 whole eggs, instead of 3 egg yolks.  I did put a wee bit more milk in this morning (about 20 grams).

Ingredients
For the custard -
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons of corn flour
1 tsp vanilla
400 mls of milk (you can also use a combination of milk and cream, but my cream was whiffy this morning, so it went in the bin instead of in the custard.
80 g of sugar (regular or caster, either is fine).

For the pastry - I used three sheets of puff pastry, and then did some cheese tarts with the left over bits.

Put all the custard ingredients into the thermomix, cook at 90 degrees for 8 minutes on speed 3.  It is absolutely fine to cook this on the stove, it's just that it's so super easy in the thermomix, I never bother anymore.  I like cooking, but I'm not really all about being hands on with processes like this.  I'm perfectly content for the thermo to be working on the custard while I move on to the next task.  And sometimes that task is to sit down and play Crossy Road for 8 minutes.

In the meantime, cut circles out of your pastry and push them into a medium sized muffin tin.  I use the pie top cutter from my pie maker.

When the pastry is done, apparently you should let it cool completely before spooning it into the pastry shells you've made.  I don't do this, it cools for maybe 5 minutes while I wash up, then into the pastry and into the oven.  This disregard for proper process usually works out fine for me.

Cook tarts for 20 - 25 minutes at 180 degrees.

Cool on a wire rack.  They come out of the oven all puffed up, then the pastry gently sinks back into the shell.
