Does the butter have to be at room temperature or cold?

No crust? Do you have a version of this recipe with a crust? Wondering if you would pre-bake it if adding a crust.

Never made these before so hoping for a bit of guidance.
Should I use a cupcake pan? 12 cakes size.
Does the recipe make only 8 tarts as servings suggests?

Actually Kathy, you will probably need a couple of those cupcake pans, this recipe makes about 20 tarts.

My family's favorite. I've made these many times. I cannot go to my brothers place without them. They also freeze well.

Does it matter what kind of milk you use? Is 2% ok or does it need to be whole milk?
5 Years ago, Thursday, December 16, 2021
Tuga Pops
Yes, you can use 2% Megan, you won't notice a large difference.
