Pasticotti(Italian Christmas Tarts)

1. 1

   Combine sugar and shortening.

2. 2

   Add beaten eggs and vanilla. Add sifted dry ingredients with the milk to make a soft dough. Roll out on lightly floured board 18-inch thick to fit lightly greased tart cups or muffin tins. I use Pam and have no trouble with them sticking.

3. 3

   Use your fingers to press dough into the tart cups.

4. 4

   Fill with cream filling and cover with dough to fit.

5. 5

   I use a water glass that fits the top of the tart container.

6. 6

   Seal edge thoroughly and brush with 1 egg yolk, beaten with 1 tablespoon of milk.

7. 7

   Bake at 350u00b0 for about 25 minutes.
