Recipe Tips
- When zesting the orange, make sure to only take the outer layer of the peel to avoid the bitter white pith underneath. This will enhance the flavor of your tarts.
- To ensure a smooth filling, whisk the eggs and sugar together thoroughly before adding the milk and orange juice. This helps to prevent any lumps in the mixture.
- Avoid overbaking the tarts. Keep an eye on them and remove them from the oven as soon as the edges start to turn golden brown; they will continue to set as they cool.
