Totally doable and irresistible from Jamie’s 30 minutes meal book, these yummilicious Portuguese tarts which Silver Bullet attempted not too long ago turned out to be crispy, creamy and a little zesty!

- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or vanilla extract
- 5 tablespoons golden caster sugar
- 1 orange
Instructions
- Dust a clean surface with flour.
- Untill the sheet of pastry. Cut it in half so you end up wit two 20cm x 20cm squares of pastry. Sprinkle over a few good pinches of ground cinnamon, then roll the pastry into a swiss roll shape and cut into 6 rounds.Put theseinto 6 of the holes in a muffin tin.
- Use your thumbs to stretch and mould the pastry into the holes so the bottom is flat and the pastry comes up to the top
- Put on the top shelf o the oven and cook for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden
- Take the muffin tin out of the oven. Use a teaspoon to press the puffed pastry back to the sides and make room for filling
- Spoon the crème fraiche mixture into the tart cases, and return to the top shelf of the oven for 8 minutes
- Put a small saucepan on high heat. Squeeze juice from the zested orange and add caster sugar.
- Stir and keep a good eye on it for about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour some caramel over each tart.
- It should still be wobbly.
