Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C fan-assist and grease a 12-hole muffin tray.
2. Stack the pastry sheets one at a time, brushing each with melted butter, finishing with a buttered top layer.
3. Cut the stack into 12 even squares (4 by 3).
4. Press each square into a muffin hole to form a parcel.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crisp.
6. While the pastry bakes, add 2 cups of the milk, the condensed milk and the cinnamon sticks to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer, whisking.
7. In a large bowl, whisk the custard powder into the remaining 1 cup of cold milk until fully dissolved.
8. Pour the custard mixture into the hot milk and whisk over low heat for 1-2 minutes until smooth and thickened. Remove the cinnamon sticks. If lumps form, pass the custard through a sieve.
9. Transfer the baked pastry to a large tray and divide the custard among the parcels, smoothing the tops with the back of a spoon.
10. Dust with cinnamon and refrigerate for 2 hours to set.
