Method
- Step 1
In a large saucepan, whisk together the egg and egg yolks, sugar and cornflour until smooth. Add a little of the milk until a paste is formed. Then add remainder of milk, cream and vanilla whisking until smooth. - Step 2
Bring mixture to the boil whilst stirring until thickened. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin forming. Refrigerate until chilled. - Step 3
Pre-heat oven to 210°C (190°C fan-forced). Lightly oil 12, ⅓ cup capacity muffin pans. - Step 4
Place pastry on benchtop and cut in half forming two rectangles. Place one on top of the other. From the short end, roll up firmly to form a roll of pastry. Cut into 12 equal sized pieces. - Step 5
Roll pieces of pastry to approx. 8cm diameter and press into muffin pans. Spoon chilled custard between pastry shells and bake for 20-22 minutes until custard is starting to turn golden. Allow to sit for several minutes before removing from pans. Enjoyed best whilst warm.
