Roll the puff pastry into a log and cut it into 12 pieces.
Press the dough pieces into buttered muffin molds.
Heat the milk, cinnamon stick, and lemon peel for 6 minutes.
Mix the flour and granulated sugar, add to the hot milk, and thicken for 3 minutes without leaving lumps.
When the mixture is lukewarm, add the egg yolks.
Divide the custard among the pastry shells.
Bake the tarts at 240°C for 15 minutes, until spottily browned.
💡 Tip: Fully preheat the oven to high heat so the custard spots while the pastry base stays crisp.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Sprinkle with cinnamon and serve warm with espresso.
