2. To make the crust: In a medium bowl, place flour, sugar, salt, and butter. Rub the butter into the dry mixture with our fingers until it resembles a coarse meal. Alternatively, we can use a fork or pastry blender.
3. Add the yolk and mix until it comes together and forms a ball.
4. Transfer onto a cling wrap. Cover and chill it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
5. To make custard filling: In a small bowl, stir sugar with hot water until completely dissolved. Set it aside to cool.
6. In a medium pouring jar, whisk the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until thoroughly mixed. Add the sugar syrup and whisk again to combine.
7. To get a smooth custard, strain the mixture twice. First into another bowl, then back into the pouring jar.
8. Assembly: On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a thickness of 3/4-inch (0.5 cm).
9. Using the same size cookie cutter as the tart mold, cut as many circles as possible from the dough. I used 2¾-inches (7 cm) tart mold and cookie cutter.
10. Gently press each cut-out into the tart molds.
