Portuguese Custard Tarts Pasteis De Nata

These custard tarts are absolutely delicious! i got this recipe off allrecipes, submitted by john j. Pacheco, and wanted to put it here for safe keeping. hope he doesn't mind. you could probably substitute vanilla extract for the vanilla bean. I liked the fact that this recipe uses milk istead of heavy cream.
