Making Portuguese egg tarts at home is easier than you think! Follow this step-by-step guide to recreate these creamy, caramelized treats.
Ingredients: For the pastry, you’ll need 250g all-purpose flour, 100g cold butter (cubed), 50g sugar, 1 egg yolk, and 2-3 tbsp ice water. For the filling, mix 300ml milk, 200ml heavy cream, 100g sugar, 4 egg yolks, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Steps:
1. Make the pastry: Combine flour, sugar, and butter. Rub until crumbly, then add egg yolk and ice water to form a dough. Chill for 30 minutes. Roll out, cut into circles, and press into muffin tins.
2. Prepare the filling: Heat milk and cream until warm. Whisk sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla, then pour in the milk mixture, straining to remove lumps.
3. Assemble & bake: Pour filling into tart shells. Bake at 200°C for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is golden and the filling is set with a slight jiggle. Cool before serving.
