I don't think that I've described "pusties" before. "Pusties" is not in the
OED. Not even "pasticiotti" or "pasticcioti" is in the revised OED (that did
the letter "p").
...
"Pusties" is not mentioned in DARE?
...
Is everyone that miserable on food?

Pusties, riggies, and hats. If those words mean nothing to you, you're
not a Utica native. If that's the case, come to NY and sample some classic
regional Italian-American food. Riggies refer to the Utica fave chicken riggies,
aka rigatoni. Hats are the pasta known elsewhere as orecchiette, often
served baked in tomato sauce. Pusties are the subject of this write-up.
Pusties are a beloved Utica pastry, and are known as such only in the Utica
area. They are "officially" called pasticciotti, a single-serving Italian
custard filled tart. The usual fillings for the rich tart crust are chocolate,
vanilla, lemon, and Italian cheesecake. The Florentine specializes in these,
and other, Italian pastries. We especially loved the vanilla filled pusties,
with the delicately scented filling poised in texture between custard and
pastry cream. The cannolis, too, were good.
There is a pleasant little room where the pastries can be enjoyed with
Italian coffee, if you're not taking a box home. And, we must not forget one of
the most amazing facts: these pusties go for 80 cents apiece! That is, unless
you'd like to spend 40 cents for day old pusties. Incredible!
The Florentine is located on Bleecker Street, the classic old Italian
neighborhood in this once very Italian-American city. Today, Bleecker is an amalgam
of many different cultures, but the Italian shops still predominate.
Florentine is one of the finest.

I found this recipe in the Our Lady of Pompei cookbook from Syracuse.
Pasticiotta
4 cups flour, 2 tsp. baking powder, pinch salt, l cup sugar, 2 medium eggs,
l/2 cup milk, 2 tsp. vanilla or lemon extract, 1 cup margarine or shortening.
Sift all dry ingredients and cut in margarine. Make a well and add 2 eggs,
flavoring and milk. Knead for 5 mins. Roll pastry dough as for pie crust and
fit into tart pans. Fill each tart pan half full of pudding and cover with top
crust. Seal edges and trim. Brush crusts with beaten egg yolks. Bake 400
degrees 20 to 30 mins. Sprinkle 10x sugar over tops.
Filling:
l quart milk, slightly warmed
6 heaping tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup sugar
3 or 4 egg yolks
l tsp. vanilla
l rounded tablespoon butter
In top of double boiler mix sugar and cornstarch well. Beat egg yolks
slightly with l/2 cup milk. Add rest of milk to sugar and cornstarch mixture,
stirring well. Cooks on medium heat stirring constantly until mixture starts to
boil and is thick. Remove from heat, cool slightly. Add l tsp. vanilla and l
tablespoons butter. Stir until butter is melted.
