Method

First preheat the oven to 200°C.

Start by making the Pastry. First mix the flour, salt and sugar in a bowl then rub in the solid coconut oil until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. Next mix in the water to form a soft dough. Roll out the dough till fairly thin and cut out small circles of pastry and press into an oiled muffin tin. Finally prick the bottoms with a fork and bake for 15 mins. Cook till slightly browned and then leave to cool a little before removing from the tin.

To make the Custard first put the milk in a pan and whisk in the cornflour. Next whisk in the remainder of the ingredients and put the mixture onto a medium high heat. Continue stirring over the heat until thick. Pour the Custard into the tart shells and chill in the fridge till set.
