Hong Kong-style egg tarts

Hong Kong-style egg tarts
She learned this egg tart from other bloggers. She learned it on a Hong Kong forum. The publisher said that it was a recipe from Saint Anna's Cake House in Hong Kong. I have never been to Hong Kong, so I don't care about the source and name. Therefore, we will not pursue the egg tart in Hong Kong. But this kind of egg tarts do exist in stores. As long as it tastes good.
This tart skin saves the trouble of "folding the quilt" of traditional meringue egg tarts. It is much simpler to make, but it tastes very good. The skin of the tarts is thin and crispy, and it melts immediately in the mouth. It is paired with a sweet and smooth egg custard. I prefer this one to the crispy egg tarts.

    If there is no light cream, replace the light cream in the ingredients with whole light milk. Baking time can be appropriately increased or decreased according to your own oven. Tapi must be as thin as possible. If conditions permit, refrigerate the egg custard liquid overnight to allow the flavors to blend more evenly.
