These Portuguese custard tarts feature crisp puff pastry cases filled with a rich, spiced custard. The process involves rolling out the pastry, cutting it into rounds, and pressing them into fairy cake tins to form thin shells. A fragrant custard, infused with lemon and cinnamon, gets poured into these cases and baked until the pastry turns golden and the custard darkens. Finish with a dusting of icing sugar and cinnamon for a classic treat.
