Tips for Success
• Ensure that the butter used for greasing the tart pan is thoroughly coated to prevent sticking. You can also dust the greased pan with a little flour for an extra layer of protection.
• When zesting the orange, be careful to only remove the outer layer of the skin, avoiding the bitter white pith underneath, as this can affect the flavor of the tarts.
• To achieve a smoother filling texture, whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy before adding the milk and orange juice. This will help incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter tart.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the milk with a non-dairy alternative?
Yes, you can use almond milk, coconut milk, or soy milk as a substitute for dairy milk. Just ensure that the non-dairy milk is unsweetened to maintain the flavor balance in the tarts.
What should I do if the tarts don't rise or are dense?
If the tarts do not rise or are dense, it could be due to over-mixing the batter or not using fresh eggs. Make sure to mix the ingredients until just combined and use eggs that are within their sell-by date for the best results.
How do I store leftover orange tarts?
Store any leftover tarts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. To prolong their freshness, you can also freeze them for up to 3 months. Just allow them to cool completely before freezing.
