I baked the shells for 10 minutes. (Remember to prick them first--I forgot until about 5 minutes into it!) I reshaped them again with the tart tool as soon as they came out of the oven. I only did the one pan (used on crust--had to roll out the extra to get about 3 more out.) Of course I had enough filling left that I could have done another 24!. They were AWESOME!!!!!!!!
They look really pretty with the edges and there is plenty of filling to fill them to the top! I'm sure you could fill at least 48 of them if not more with the one filling so it makes them very economical for large groups.MicheleC said:Regarding the question on using the bread tube for the tarts. They're really not that big once you push them down into the mini muffin pan. They do stick up over the edges which just means that much more to fill!
To make Spiced Pumpkin Tarlets, you will need the following ingredients: pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, vanilla extract, and a pre-made pie crust or phyllo dough. You may also want to have some whipped cream or nuts for topping.
The Spiced Pumpkin Tarlets typically take about 15-20 minutes to bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Keep an eye on them to ensure they are set and lightly golden on top.
Yes, you can prepare the filling and assemble the tarlets ahead of time. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Alternatively, you can bake them and store the cooled tarlets in an airtight container for a few days.
Spiced Pumpkin Tarlets are best served warm or at room temperature. You can garnish them with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or chopped nuts for added flavor and presentation.
Absolutely! You can adjust the spice blend to your taste. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of cinnamon or nutmeg. You can also add other spices like allspice or cardamom for a unique twist.
