2. Lightly grease a 12 tray muffin pan.
3. Spoon the cooled custard into the pastry cases and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry and custard are golden. I will sometimes turn on the broiler for a few minutes to get a few extra burn marks which is a distinct feature of this tart.

1. To make the dough, place the flour, salt, and water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a hook. Mix for about 30 seconds until soft and pillowy dough forms that cleans the side of the bowl.

3. Roll the dough into an 18-inch square. Use the scraper to lift the dough and add flour underneath to avoid the dough sticking.
4. Brush excess flour off the top of the dough, trim any uneven edges, and using a small offset spatula dot and then spread the left two-thirds of the dough with a little less than one-third of the butter to within 1 inch of the edge.

1. Make the Custard:Place the water, sugar, cinnamon and lemon rind in a medium saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer - without stirring - until it reachers 220 degrees F on an instant read thermometer.Remove from the heat and let it cool for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.In a separate medium saucepan scald the milk (heat until up to the boiling point but don't let it boil). Turn off the heat and add the flour and salt to the hot milk and whisk constantly until the mixture is nice and thick. Add the egg yolks and whisk until combined.

2. Prepare the Pastry Dough:On a lightly floured work surface, roll the pastry dough out to roughly a 11x14 inch rectangle. Beginning at the short end, roll up the pastry dough, rolling it tightly as you go along. Wrap the pastry roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
3. Assemble the Tarts:Preheat the oven to the highest temperature it will go (I heated mine to 525 degrees F). Use a pastry cutter or sharp knife to cut the pastry log into about 3/4 inch thick rounds. (Cut a thin layer off each end and discard.)Use a standard size non-stick muffin pan. Depending on how full you fill the tarts this recipe makes about 16 tarts so you may need a second muffin pan.Place a pastry round in each tin. Use your thumbs to press the pastry down and up the sides to the very top to fit the mold. Pour the prepared custard into each pastry case to about 3/4 of the way full. Don't fill them too full or the custard will overflow onto the rims of the tart crusts. Place the pan on the middle rack of the preheated oven.Depending on the max temperature of your oven, bake for about 14-16 minutes (my oven was set to 525 degrees F). You'll know the tarts are done when the tops are nicely scorched and the filling is set. Remove from the oven and let the tarts cool for about 8-10
