Creamed Tartlets

Source: Eliza Acton, 1845

Instructions

  1. Line some pattypans with very fine paste, and put into each a layer of apricot jam.
  2. On this pour some thick boiled custard, or the pastry cream of page 373.
  3. Whisk the whites of a couple of eggs to a solid froth, and mix a couple of tablespoonsful of sifted sugar with them.
  4. Lay this icing lightly over the tartlets, and bake them in a gentle oven from twenty to thirty minutes, unless they should be very small, when less time must be allowed for them.
