Ingredients for 4 servings

200 g of sugar
35 g of flour
6 free-range eggs
0.5 l of whole milk
1 pinch of salt
1 vanilla pod
Ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 homemade puff pastry

Step-by-step directions

1 Pour the milk into a saucepan and add the vanilla pod, split in half with the seeds scraped out. Bring to a boil. As soon as the milk boils, remove the saucepan from the heat.

2 Remove the vanilla pod from the saucepan.

3 Pour the milk into a mixing bowl where you have previously combined the flour, sugar, and salt.

4 Add 5 egg yolks, 1 whole egg, the lemon juice, a pinch of ground cinnamon, and mix everything together.

5 Line small individual round moulds with pieces of puff pastry and, using a pastry bag or small ladle, pour the mixture into the moulds.

6 Bake for approximately 10 to 12 minutes (watch the surface of the tarts, they should be golden with a slight burnt appearance) at 200-210°C (gas mark 7).
