Hey there, folks! Today, I'm gonna show you how to whip up some delicious Portuguese custard tarts. Trust me, you're in for a treat with this perfect combo of sweetness, zing, and spice. So, let's get started with rolling out that pastry. One time, I got a bit too excited with the rolling pin and ended up with pastry flying everywhere in my kitchen! Pro tip: Dust your work surface generously with the flour and icing sugar mixture to avoid a pastry disaster like mine. Now, roll out the pastry into a 45 x 30cm rectangle. And here's my special tip for you – when rolling up the pastry into a sausage shape, roll it up slowly and gently, like you're tucking in a cozy blanket. This will help you get that perfect flaky texture in your tarts. Don't forget to sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top before popping these beauties in the oven. These tarts will have your taste buds doing a happy dance, I promise! Enjoy every bite of these creamy delights.
