Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a mixing bowl, beat the egg, sugar, and butter until creamy and well combined. Add the evaporated milk and vanilla, blending until smooth. |
| 2 | Prepare your favorite pastry dough and line tart shells with it. |
| 3 | Sprinkle a few currants into each tart shell, distributing them evenly. |
| 4 | Fill each tart shell with the prepared mixture, filling them approximately 2/3 full. |
| 5 | Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). |
| 6 | Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, allowing them to set. |
| 7 | Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and continue baking for an additional 12-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Alternatively, bake until the crust reaches your desired level of doneness. |
| 8 | Keep a close eye on the tarts, as baking times may vary. Grandma Chic recommends baking them at 350°F (175°C) for 15-18 minutes for a slightly runny center, if desired. |
| 9 | Once baked to perfection, remove the tarts from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the delightful blend of flavors and textures with each bite! |
