- Notes of caution: 1. Use mini-tart pans. 2. Butter and flour each tart pan to prevent sticking. 3. Donât overwork the dough/crust, otherwise it will be tough.
- One more note of caution (I found out the hard way): Although you want to roll the dough thin, you canât make it too thin otherwise the pusties will collapse in the middle.
- Chocolate Filling:
- Directions:
- Blend together the milk and water.
- Mix the dry ingredients in the top of a double boiler.
- Add liquid gradually to prevent lumps.
- Cook until thickened.
- Allow to cool.
- Vanilla Filling:
- Directions:
- Mix flour and sugar in a double boiler.
- Slowly add milk and mix thoroughly.
- Cook until thickened.
- Add a small amount of the heated mix to the beaten yolks then add the yolks to the pudding mixture.
- Cook one minute longer.
- Crust:
- Directions:
- Blend the dry ingredients and then the shortening.
- Add the eggs.
- Roll out dough in between waxed paper.
- It might be sticky, although mine turned out a bit dry (I reduced the shortening amount).
- Cut out circles to fit tart pans.
- Pat cut outs into tins on the bottom and up sides of the well greased tins.
- Fill 3/4 full with your choice of the vanilla or chocolate puddings. Cover with a dough round and seal around the sides.
- Put a âbuttonâ of dough in the middle of each lid for the vanilla filled pusties.
- rush with a beaten egg.
- Bake at 400 F until golden, about 18 -20 minutes.
