Light in Flavour

When you want a delicate sweetness in your baking, using White Sugar or Caster Sugar can provide a subtle sweetness that enhances the other flavours without overpowering them.

Fruity

Using fruit can add a natural, fruity sweetness to baking, creating a refreshing, light flavour or adding sweet tartness. White Sugar or Caster Sugar in baking, allows the flavour of the fruit to shine and Jam Setting Sugar preserves the taste of fruit in vibrant jams.

Nutty

Coconut Sugar bring a subtle nuttiness to baked goods, elevating the taste with a mild, natural sweetness and pairs beautifully with tropical flavours.

Spiced

Using sugars with spices like cinnamon, ginger, licorice or chai can lend a warm, aromatic sweetness to baking.

Caramel

Utilising brown sugars or incorporating caramelised sugar syrups creates a richer, deeper flavor profile, adding a hint of caramel or toffee-like taste.

Chocolate

Chocolate adds a decadent richness to baked goods with its deep cocoa flavour, making it perfect for indulgent treats. Try adding a deep flavoured Brown Sugar to the mix for enhanced chocolate flavour.

Jason

Came out quite nice but the traditional version has cinnamon in it, and this recipe does not, yet the picture does. I made some cinnamon sugar and sprinkled it on top after cooking then blow torched them.

Anita

Delicious and easy!!!

Erin Marty

It is a yummy recipe. Tried these after tasting some in Portugal. These are just as nice.

ADAM

Good

Rachael

Absolutely delicious. Quick, easy and failproof recipe. Have made many times for family and friends (and work colleagues) and they always go down a treat.

can i use cream

Anna

Absolutely fabulous, I did add another half sheet of pastry as my muffin tins seem to be quite deep, and the first batch I had a lot of left over custard. This one was perfect! Just one spoonful leftover for me to eat!

Kathy

I have made these three times for family and friends, and the recipe is amazing! Each time, I get requests to bake them again. This is now my go-to recipe for Book Club!

Grace

These are bomb fr

Debbie

Fantastic, easy recipe. Just delicious

Method

Lightly grease a 12 hole muffin tin and pre-heat oven to 200C/180C fan.

Put egg, yolks, Chelsea Caster Sugar and cornflour in a pan and mix well together then gradually add the milk until mixture is well mixed and smooth.

Place pan on medium heat and stir constantly until mixture thickens and comes to the boil. Remove pan from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

Put custard in a glass/ceramic bowl to cool and cover with cling film to prevent skin forming.

Cut pastry sheet into two pieces and place them on top of each other.

Roll the pastry tightly, from the short side, into a log and cut the log into 12 even sized rounds.

On a lightly floured board, roll each round into a disc (approx. 10cm) and press the pastry discs into the muffin tin.

Spoon in the cooled custard and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden on top. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes then move to a cooling rack to finish cooling although they can be eaten warm.
