Portuguese Custard tarts

I still haven't made these and they look so nice.

Eventually made these today and well worth the wait. 
Tasted exactly as I remember from when I was last in Praia Da Luz staying with my BF's daughter who lives there.
A perfect recipe Chookie and made half vanilla and the other half lemon zest with cinammon .
The only change I made was sprinkling some castor sugar between the pastry layers.
Thank you so much for the recipe and conversion

Thanks MF.  I am so glad you liked them. I must make them again.

Made these on the weekend.  What a fantastic recipe.  Thanks chookie.  Followed your instructions to the 't' and they were perfect.  Thumbs up from everyone in the family.

Kezza,  nice to know that the family liked them.  Well done.  When I last made them,  we had visitors.  One of the visitors kept returning to the table after we had finished dinner and sneaking another tart.

These are one of my absolute favourite sweet treats, and I made them for a family birthday afternoon tea today. I always use bought puff pastry, but I decided to try Helene's iced puff pastry http://www.superkitchenmachine.com/2011/15071/puff-pastry-thermomix-recipe.html for the first time. After I had folded and rolled out the pastry for the last time, I rolled it up like a Swiss roll, wrapped it in cling wrap and rested it in the fridge.
I still have half the pastry left, so I think I'll make some more tarts as they were so delicious. I was really impressed with the puff pastry as the tarts were nice and crisp.

I should make some these to use up the Careme pastry I bought on a whim
