These custard tarts were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some spices or herbs to the custard filling next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my custard tarts turned out a bit runny. They still tasted good, but they weren't as firm as I would have liked.

I'm not a huge fan of custard, but I really enjoyed these tarts. The crust was so flaky and the custard was perfectly creamy.
