Ingredients

  • 60 grams granulated sugar
  • 200 millilitres of milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 5 Creapan Puff Pastry Sheets (1 pack)

Kitchenware

  • tart tins
  • sieve
  • round cutters

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 220 °C.
  2. Put the granulated sugar and milk into in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Keep stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
  3. Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Stir the milk into the sugar water and slowly pour this mixture onto the eggs while stirring. Stir well until a homogeneous mixture. Strain the mixture twice to get the air out.
  4. Cut circles out of the puff pastry and press them into the moulds.
