Never made these before so hoping for a bit of guidance. Should I use a cupcake pan? 12 cakes size. Does the recipe make only 8 tarts as servings suggests?

Eddy
Actually Kathy, you will probably need a couple of those cupcake pans, this recipe makes about 20 tarts.

My family's favorite. I've made these many times. I cannot go to my brothers place without them. They also freeze well.

Eddy

Great to hear Melissa, thank you.
