(Lady Holland, Pinewood. 1878.)
Use up any pastry trimmings for the pastry cases, and bake them empty for these cheese tartlets.
For custard to fill them with, take the yolks of 2 eggs, or of 3 if small, to a little cream with milk in all 1 teacupful at most, salt and a little pepper, and 1 tablespoonful of best Parmesan grated. Mix well and fill the cases, and return to oven for a few minutes just to bake the mixture; pastry must be baked first, or it would be soft, like flannel.
