Grease four 9.5cm (base measurement) x 3cm (depth) individual round pie tins; roll portions of pastry out between 2 sheets of baking paper until large enough to cut two 15cm rounds from each portion. Ease pastry rounds into prepared tins; press into base and sides. Trim excess. Prick bases all over with a fork. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
Place tins on oven tray; cover pastry with squares of baking paper, fill with dried beans or uncooked rice, bake 10 minutes, carefully remove paper and beans/rice from pastry case, bake a further 10 minutes. Cool.
In a large saucepan, combine NESTLÉ Sweetened Condensed Milk and milk. Stir until combined.

Add mixture back to saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 8 minutes or until thickened. Pour into prepared pastry cases, sprinkle with cinnamon, refrigerate for 1 hour or until cooled.
