Puff Tartlets with Baked Custard

Puff baskets with the most delicate milk custard based on yolks under various names are common throughout the Eurasian continent and the islands adjacent to the east and west. Someone got acquainted with this pastry in Britain or Portugal and considers it a Western European dish, others have tried it in China or Hong Kong and are sure that these sweet tartlets are representatives of Asian cuisine … Today we will prepare this delicacy with hints of lemon and cinnamon.

Cook: 60 mins

Servings: 12

Ingredients

Puff pastry – 600 g
Milk – 500 ml
Yolks – 7 pcs.
Water – 250 ml
Sugar – 500 g
Flour – 60 g (about 0.5 cups with a capacity of 200 ml)
Lemon – 1 pc.
Ground cinnamon – 0.5 teaspoon + for decorating tartlets (optional)
or a cinnamon stick – 1 pc.

Directions

Prepare ingredients. Defrost the puff pastry (40-50 minutes at room temperature).
Roll out the dough into a layer 30×40 cm in size and 0.5 cm thick.
Roll the dough into a roll.
Cut the roll into 12 equal pieces.
Place the dough pieces into muffin tins, cut side up.
Gently, pressing with your fingers, distribute the dough into the forms, forming baskets.
Mix 100 ml of milk well with flour.
Pour the remaining milk into a saucepan, add zest and cinnamon coarsely cut from lemon. The original recipe had a cinnamon stick, I replaced it with half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon, which gave the cream a slightly beige hue. Boil milk with zest and cinnamon.
Pour the milk-flour mixture into the boiling milk into a saucepan and mix everything quickly. Brew for another 1 minute. Remove from heat.
In a separate saucepan, pour 250 ml of sugar over the sugar. Put the saucepan on the fire and bring the water and sugar to a boil.
Boil the syrup for exactly 3 minutes, then remove from heat. Turn on the oven to heat up to 250 degrees.
In several steps, pour the sugar syrup into the milk custard in a thin stream, stirring well each time.
Strain the cream. Add the yolks to it and mix well.
Pour the milk-egg custard into the tins of dough in the tins. Bake tartlets with cream in a preheated oven at 250 degrees for 20 minutes, until the cream starts to become covered with brown spots.
Sprinkle cinnamon on top of prepared puff pastry tartlets with baked custard, if desired.
