Extremely Quick Custard & Caramel Tarts

plain flour, for dusting
Puff Pastry about 20x20 inch
ground cinnamon
125g thick cream
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or vanilla extract
7 tablespoons golden caster sugar
1 orange, zest & juice

Turn the overn on to 200°C/400°F/gas 6.Dust a clean surface with flour. Unroll the 20 x 20cm squares of pastry. Sprinkle over a few good pinches of ground cinnamon, then roll the pastry into a Swiss roll shape and cut into 6 rounds. Put these into 6 of the holes in a muffin tin, and use your thumbs to stretch and mould the pastry into the holes so the bottom is flat and the pastry comes up to the top. Put on the top shelf of the oven and cook for around 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Spoon the cream into a small bowl. Add the egg, vanilla paste or extract, 2-3 tablespoon of golden caster sugar and the zest of 1 orange. Mix well.

Take the muffin tin out of the oven, and use a teaspoon to press the puffed up pastry back to the sides and make room for the filling. Spoon the cream mixture into the tart cases, and return to the top shelf of the oven. Set the timer for 8 minutes.

Put a small saucepan on a high heat. Squeeze in the juice from the zested orange and add the rest of the caster sugar. Let it cook till melted and changes color.

Take the tarts out of the oven, they should still wobble. Pour some caramel over each tart. Put aside to set. Eat at room temperature.

Serves 6

Strawberry Shortcakes

Added by Jameela Zahid Khan
to "FOODILCIOUS "COOKS @ WORK""

Strawberry Shortcakes,tried this recipe nd they were sooo scrumptious,loved them...! got the recipe from food network.

Ingredients
Shortcakes:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cold (salted) butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon low-fat buttermilk
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon sliced almonds

Filling
4 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 to 3 tablespoons sugar (depending on the ripeness of the berries)
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1 tablespoon orange juice
2 tablespoons 0 percent or 2 percent fat Greek Yogurt per serving, for garnish
Confectioners' sugar for dusting (optional)

Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

Shortcakes: Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and work it into the flour mixture with your fingers until it resembles coarse meal.

Whisk together 1/2 cup buttermilk, the egg, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Add to the flour mixture and lightly mix with your hands just until the dough just comes together. Do not over mix. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. With lightly floured hands, gently pat the dough into a 7-inch round about 1/2-inch thick. Cut into 8 equal sized wedges. Space the shortcakes evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining 1 tablespoon buttermilk and sprinkle with the almonds. Bake until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes.

Filling: Combine the strawberries, sugar, zest, and juice in a large bowl. Let stand until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is syrupy, about 15 minutes.

Split the shortcakes. Place the bottom halves of the shortcakes on plates and top evenly with the strawberry mixture and the yogurt. Cover with tops of the shortcakes. Dust with confectioners' sugar, if using.
