sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds sweetness with a unique flavor.

Dissolve sugar in hot water and allow to cool to room temperature.

In a separate bowl, whisk evaporated milk with eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.

Combine with sugar water, mix thoroughly, sift to ensure smoothness, and chill in the fridge covered with cling wrap.

Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and adjust the rack to the middle position.

Thaw the puff pastry sheets if frozen. Cut into 10cm diameter circles using a cookie cutter or a cup.

Gently press each circle into tart molds or cupcake pans, forming a well for the custard.

Fill each pastry shell with the chilled custard mixture, leaving a little space below the rim.

Place in the oven, immediately reduce the temperature to 350°F (180°C), and bake for 25 minutes or until the custard is just set.

Turn off the oven and leave the door slightly open with the tarts inside for 10 minutes.

Remove the tarts from the oven, let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
