Low Fat Portugese Tarts

These are great! I served them for dessert when we had friends over this week. A great low fat little dessert if you have to serve one. This recipe makes 12 little tarts.

1 whole Egg
2 whole Egg yolks
2 tblsns Corn Flour
400 mls Trim Milk
2 tblsns Vanilla
2 sheets Low Fat Pastry - you can get this at supermarket

Heat oven to 200. Fold over both pastry sheets in half. Roll into tubes. Slice each tube into 6 equal pieces. Roll out into circles and place in a greased cupcake tin. Put baking paper inside pastry and fill with baking pepples to hold pastry down. Bake for about 15 minutes till pastry is almost cooked. Take out of oven and cool shells fully removing the pepples and baking paper. Mix a bit of milk with corn flour to remove the lumps. Mix eggs, remainder of milk and vanilla. Fill shells with custard and place on top shelp in oven and cook till starting to blacken on top of custard and custard has thickened. This should be about 15-20 minutes. I like to serve cold with sliced strawberries.
