Apparently these super sweet tartlets were born when a lady wanted to feed gypsy children who played in fields near her house but only had these few ingredients in her cupboards. Whatever the origin, we think these evaporated milk tarts are delicious. They take just over half an hour from start to finish and are a delicious afternoon partner to a cuppa or as a dessert. The kids will love one of these after their tea for a special weekend treat.

- 170g can evaporated milk
- 150g muscovado sugar
- 4-5 pastry tartlet shells, 7.5-10cm in diameter
