Ingredients
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup butter
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 dash vanilla extract
-
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 9 eggs, beaten
- 1 dash vanilla extract
- 1 cup canned evaporated milk
Directions
- In a medium bowl, mix together the
confectioners' sugar and flour. Mix in butter with a fork until it is
in small crumbs. Stir in the egg and vanilla until the mixture forms a
dough. The texture should be slightly moist. Add more butter if it is
too dry, or more flour, if the dough seems greasy. Shape dough into 1
1/2 inch balls, and press the balls into tart molds so that it covers
the bottom, and goes up higher than the sides. Use 2 fingers to shape
the edge into an A shape.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230
degrees C). Combine the white sugar and water in a medium saucepan,
and bring to a boil. Cook until the sugar is dissolved, remove from
heat and cool to room temperature. Strain the eggs through a sieve,
and whisk into the sugar mixture. Stir in the evaporated milk and
vanilla. Strain the filling through a sieve, and fill the tart shells.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown,
and the filling is puffed up a little bit.
