How to make the Sandra Gutierrez double butter piecrust: I used the food processor and mixed the flour and salt in the work bowl. Pulse this dry mixture for 10 seconds. Then add the cubes of chilled butter. Process again till mixture looks coarse with small lumps. This takes about 30 to 40 seconds. Add 3 tablespoons of the ice cold water and the vinegar. Pulse 5 to 7 times. The dough will start looking smooth. Add 1-2 tablespoons or iced water if needed to make the dough stay together. Place the pastry on plastic wrap and seal well. Store in the refrigerator for at least one hour till ready to use. (*Note: if you don't own a food processor, you can do this pastry dough by hand in a large mixing bowl using a pastry blender or else two table knives to mix the butter into the flour).

On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough with a rolling pin. Roll out dough between two pieces of parchment or wax paper.

Grease small non-stick tart pans, about 2-inches in diameter. Cut round pastry pieces, using a cookie cutter (or the tart pan itself) around 4-inches in diameter to fit into the tart pan. Press the pastry crust well at the bottom and sides of tart pan. Place these tart pans in a shallow baking tray. Set aside in the refrigerator while you prepare the coconut-custard filling.

Pour the coconut-custard mix into the tart pans lined with pastry. Fill the tart pan leaving about 1/8 inch space on top.

Bake coconut tarts in a preheated oven of 375 F for 25 to 30 minutes. Test the middle of the tart by piercing it with the tip of a sharp knife. If knife comes clean, tarts are done.

Remove tarts from the oven. Let them cool on the counter for about 10 minutes. When tarts are no longer too hot to handle, loosen the sides of the pastry crust with a slim, sharp knife. Cool the tarts on a baking rack for about 35 minutes. Serve tarts warm.

Cook's comments: the coconut I used are bottled sweet Macapuno-Coconut Sport which are in a syrup. They can be found in Asian or Filipino groceries here in the USA; or online sources of Asian-Filipino ingredients and Amazon.
