Ingredients
- 500 ml Whole milk
- 400 g Granulated sugar
- 150 g All-purpose flour
- 50 g Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 units Large eggs
- 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp Lemon zest(optional)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and generously grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with butter and flour.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and the eggs until the mixture is pale and well combined.
- 3
Stir in the melted butter, lemon zest, and vanilla extract into the egg mixture.
- 4
Gradually sift in the flour, cinnamon, and salt, whisking gently to avoid large lumps.
- 5
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously until the batter is completely smooth and liquid.
- 6
Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter; the mixture will be very thin, which is normal.
- 7
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are slightly caramelized.
- 8
Allow the tarts to cool completely in the tin before removing them, as they need time to set their firm texture.
