Prepare the custard: beat the yolks with the sugar, then add sifted flour, hot milk, vanillin, and mix them. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly for about 10 minutes, until the cream thickens.
Finally prepare the tartlets: unmold the tartlets and fill them with a lot of custard. Then place them in the fridge for 45 minutes. Lastly, garnish the surface with fresh blackberries and mint leaves. Serve the tartlets.

Put the two mixtures together (the milk one and the egg one) little by little, make it reduce on low heat, stirring with a whisk until the cream thickens. Finally, pour it in a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and let it cool down: before at room temperature and then in the fridge.
Roll out the short pastry (thickness: 4mm), place it in a buttered and floured springform pan, so that bottom and edges adhere well. Remove the excess pastry. Pierce the bottom with a fork and fill the crust with dry beans, then bake it at 180° C for 30 minutes. Remove the beans halfway through cooking. Finally take the pie out of the oven and let it cool down.
