Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Roll out the puff pastry and cut into 6 circles. Place in a muffin tin and prick the bottom with a fork.
- In a saucepan, combine milk, cream, egg yolks, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Pour the custard into the pastry shells.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the custard is set and golden on top.
- Let cool completely, then sprinkle with cinnamon before serving.
