Flaky, all-butter golden pastry filled with a delicately spiced sweet filling, baked until crisp and aromatic.
Rub the butter into the flour, then bind with the yolk and cold water into a dough.
Wrap and chill the dough for 30 minutes, then roll thin and line tart molds.
Whisk the eggs, milk, evaporated milk, sugar, and vanilla until the sugar dissolves.
Pour the custard through a sieve into a jug.
Fill each shell two-thirds full with custard.
Bake at 190C for 20 minutes until the custard is set with deep caramel patches.
Cool briefly and serve warm.
