I had some trouble getting the tartlets out of the muffin tins without breaking them. I think I needed to grease the tins more thoroughly.

The crust on these tartlets was a bit too thick for my liking. I would have preferred a thinner, more delicate crust.

These tartlets were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less sugar.
