I agree. I also think so much easier. Not sure why they say that! And by the way…. 48 tarts…. your little guy sounds AWESOME!

My 10 year old son and I made 48 tarts last night. After making them I thought there must be a better way to do the pastry than what all the other recipes. So I thought next time I would roll out pastry and use a cookie cutter. This was confirmed when I saw your recipe. So much easier. Why do they all say to roll pastry and cut roll in pieces?

You are not dim at all! The recipe is actually accessed via a link where I say “The recipe comes from the truly awesome Bill Granger and can be found here” – you need to click the word “here” – alternatively you can cut and paste this into your browser http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/576786 – Good luck and hope you enjoy them!

I totally understand your question! Not confused at all! I definitely think these are designed as tarts for the reason you said. I really don’t think you would achieve that well by ‘converting’ it into a cake but you know what, you could try it and prove me wrong?! Otherise, to be safe, keep them as mini’s!! Good luck!

Hi There,
My friend has decided she wants Portuguese tarts for her 30th bday so as a suprise I want to convert it into a cake but as I have never tasted nor made these little guys I was wondering would it work if I baked flat afew sheets of puff pastry and then seperatly baked the custard and then layered them into a cake format or in order to make these tarts amazing is it actually the fact that the custard dissolves into the pastry that makes them so yummy therefor my idea wouldnt do it justice.
I hope that doesnt sound confusing :)
