Bajra Tartlets

Sweet Delicacy

• Let's prep: Preheat the oven to 100°C. Grease tartlet moulds lightly. In a bowl, sift bajra flour, wheat flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter cubes, then rub with fingertips until it resembles bread crumbs.
• Now, crack in the egg yolk and add a splash of cold water to bring it all together into a dough. Don't overwork it. Wrap it up in cling film and let it chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

• While the dough chills, let's prepare our custard. Heat up the milk in a saucepan. In a glass, mix custard powder with a bit of warm milk until smooth. Pour it into the saucepan, stirring constantly. Once it thickens, add sugar and keep stirring until it's creamy and coats the back of a spoon. Take it off the heat and fold in the apples.

• Next, let's shape the dough. Divide it into small balls and roll each one into a disc using a rolling pin. Carefully place them into the tartlet moulds, ensuring they cover the entire surface evenly. Use your fingers to press them gently. Then, prick the base with a fork. Pop them into the oven at 150°C for 10-15 minutes until they turn golden and crisp. Once done, take them out and allow them to cool.

Now, let's fill our tartlets with the luscious custard. Pour it in, making sure to spread it evenly. Allow it to set nicely. Once cooled, it's time for the final touch. Decorate with slices of fresh kiwi and a generous drizzle of honey on top.
