Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180c fan.
2. Use an 8cm round pastry cutter to cut out 12 circles from the shortcrust pastry.
3. If you don’t have a pastry cutter use anything round of approx 8cm like a glass and cut around the edges with a knife.
4. Press each of the pastry circles into a 12 hole muffin or cupcake tray.
5. Fill each with custard and top with a sprinkling of nutmeg.
6. Bake for 20 minutes.
7. The custard filling will expand a little during cooking and might spill up the top of the pastry. Allow them to cool for a few minutes and it will shrink back into the pastry.
