Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to fan 170C/ conventional 190C/gas
- 2Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface so it’s slightly thinner than straight from the pack. Then cut out 18-20 rounds with a 8cm fluted cutter, re-rolling the trimmings. Use the rounds to line two deep 12-hole tart tins (not muffin tins). If you only have a regular-sized, 12-hole tart tin you will be able to make a few more slightly shallower tarts.

Chef tips
For the perfect texture, pull the tarts out of the oven when the edges are set and golden but the center still has a slight jiggle; they will firm up to the ideal consistency as they cool. For a twist, add a handful of raisins or chopped pecans to the bottom of each tart shell before filling, and serve with a cool scoop of vanilla ice cream to balance the rich sweetness.
