This Portuguese dessert recipe features a delicately spiced flavor and uses pantry ingredients like egg yolks, flour, and cinnamon to create a one-of-a-kind pastry.
Put custard-filled pastry shells back into 400°F oven on top shelf and bake for 8-10 minutes. While tarts continue baking prepare caramel topping. Heat up a medium sized saucepan on the stove over medium-high heat. Add sugar and juice from 2 oranges. Use care and caution when making caramel - it is like molten lava.
