Custard Tarts


Still in lock down and trying out some new bakes.
This is a little different from the usual as it's such a cheat bake that I can't really say I made.. But it's super easy that anyone can try out!

Ingredients:

Puff Pastry Sheet (I used Morrisons own)
2 tbsp Bird's Custard Powder
1 Pint Milk
1 - 2 tbsp Sugar

You will also need:

A Pan
Measuring Spoons
A Jug
Muffin Tray
Cake Cases
Cookie Cutters

Oven 200°C

Method:

Make your custard as per the instructions on the Bird's custard tin! This is my favourite custard.
(I can just eat bowls of it on its own warm.)

Once your custard has been made let it cool to room temperature.

Roll out your pastry sheet and cut them to size with your cookie cutter to fit your cake cases. Push them into your cases making sure there's no holes in it.

Once your custard has cooled pour it evenly into your cases.

Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes. Once your pastry is looking crispy and golden.


And that's it! Simple. No need to make your own pastry and you could even use pre made custard and pour it in and bake. These taste so good warm and are just as good as the Chinese dan tarts you get when you go to yan ta!

Pains Aux Raisins


Freshly baked Pains Aux Raisins. My mum got 2 boxes of the jus-rol pains aux raisins as they'd been reduced in Morrison's to 65p. They're currently on offer 2 for £3. 

They're really easy to make & definitely a cheat to baking pastry! All you do is cut them into the size you want put them on baking paper & you just bake, easy as that!



It comes in a tube that you unravel then you cut it into however thick you want. I cut mine a bit too thin & ended up with more than what the pack said you'd get out of them.



As I cut them too thin they were crispy & more like them spiral biscuits you get when you go to European countries. I don't know what they're called but they usually come in like a heart shape.. 

The box said to bake them for 9-11 minutes at 200°C but our oven's old & really slow it ended up taking 30 minutes until they were golden brown. They're really nice, I love a pains aux raisin, not quite the same pastry you get in the shop but good enough!


Jus-Rol have loads of different pastries you can just throw in the oven, with croissants, pains aux chocolate & also just plain roll out pastry so you can make your own things whether you want to make a pie or tart.
