Instructions
- For the shortcrust pastry, combine the flour and sugar together in a large bowl. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour mixture to form a coarse breadcrumbs. Add a few tablespoons of cold water and bring together into a dough.
- Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until about 5-mm thick. Using a pastry cutter, cut out 12 circles from the pastry, large enough to fit into the holes of a muffin tin. Press the pastry rounds into the muffin holes and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 240°C.
- Place all the ingredients for the filling except the sultanas in a bowl and whisk together well. Add a few sultanas into the base of each muffin hole and cover with the filling until the tarts are about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until bubbling. Remove from the oven, stand until cool, then transfer to a wire rack.
