How To Make chinese - egg custard tarts with bananas & caramel

• Step 1
  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Step 2
  Grease a 12-portion nonstick muffin tin with melted butter.
• Step 3
  Cut circles out of the pie crusts using a 3 1/2-inch plain cutter and transfer them to the cups of the muffin tin.
• Step 4
  Press the dough evenly into the edges of each muffin cup, lining the sides.
• Step 5
  Whisk the milk, confectioners' sugar, egg yolks and egg together in a large glass measuring cup until smooth.
• Step 6
  Carefully pour the milk-sugar mixture into each crust, leaving 1/8 inch at the top.
• Step 7
  Bake in the center of the oven until the pastry begins to brown, the filling is set but still jiggles, and a toothpick inserted into the center of a tart comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Step 8
  Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing.
• Step 9
  Meanwhile, combine the brown sugar with 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir until completely melted.
• Step 10
  Stir in the butter and cinnamon until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and cool.
• Step 11
  To serve, arrange about 5 banana slices on top of each tart, overlapping them in a flower petal pattern.
• Step 12
  Serve the tarts immediately with caramel sauce drizzled over the top.
