A Guide to Making Delicious Egg Tarts

Egg tarts, with their flaky crust and creamy custard filling, are a beloved dessert worldwide. Here’s a simple guide to crafting perfect egg tarts at home.

Ingredients: For the pastry, mix 200g all-purpose flour, 100g cold butter (cubed), 2 tbsp sugar, and 4-5 tbsp ice water until a dough forms. Chill for 30 minutes. For the custard, whisk 4 eggs, 200ml milk, 100ml heavy cream, 50g sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.

Steps: Roll out the dough, line tart molds, and blind-bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes until golden. Pour the custard into the shells and bake at 160°C (325°F) for 20-25 minutes until set. Let cool before serving.

Tips: For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the custard. Brush the crust with egg wash before baking for a glossy finish. Enjoy these warm tarts as a delightful treat!
