Egg Custard Tarts

Submitted by Gran Dee

"Got this from about.com:chinese food. Used sweetened tart shells from the grocer's freezer. Made for Chinese New Year Dimsum for my Red Hat group and they all loved them. It made more than enough for 12 tart shells so I baked the balance in a small oven safe dish."
