Ingredients:
1 cup icing sugar
3 cups Thunderbolt Flour
1 cup butter
1 egg, beaten
1 dash vanilla extract
2/3 cup white sugar
1½ cups water
9 eggs, beaten
1 dash vanilla extract
1 cup evaporated milk
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the icing 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 1½ inch balls, and press the balls into tart molds so that it covers the bottom, and goes up higher than the sides.
- 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.
