Hello everybody, I hope you’re having an incredible day today. Today, I will show you a way to prepare a special dish, egg tarts. One of my favorites. For mine, I’m gonna make it a little bit unique. This will be really delicious.
Egg Tarts is one of the most favored of current trending foods in the world. It is enjoyed by millions daily. It is easy, it’s quick, it tastes yummy. They are nice and they look fantastic. Egg Tarts is something that I have loved my entire life.
The best Hong Kong egg tarts are made from the Chinese puff pastry, which is slightly different from the western puff pastry. This pastry is less oily than the western version with a more floury flavor. The soft and flaky texture of the crust and the warm and sweet taste of the egg custard makes a great combination for a comforting cozy breakfast. To make easy egg tarts, mix together a sweet pastry dough and line small tart tins with it.
To get started with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can cook egg tarts using 7 ingredients and 16 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Egg Tarts:
- Prepare 1 Basic Shortcrust Pastry
- Take 3 Egg yolks
- Get 150 ml Milk
- Get 45 grams Sugar
- Make ready 8 grams Corn starch
- Make ready 75 ml Heavy cream
- Prepare 1 dash Vanilla extract
Transfer the custard mixture into a pouring jug with a lip, then fill each of the tart cases. We love egg tarts, but I am reluctant to use the aluminium tart cases or moulds. I prefer paper liner which is safer than aluminium. You can reduce the sugar used on the crust and the filling to fit your taste, this recipe is.
Steps to make Egg Tarts:
- Make the basic shortcrust pastry. When you've finished folding it, roll it out into a 20x15 cm rectangle, then roll it up.
- It should look something like this.
- Chill the dough in the fridge for about 30 minutes. (If the dough is still cool to the touch and easy to handle, you can skip this step and continue preparing the dough in Step 8).
- Prepare the egg mixture. Whisk the egg yolks with a little warmed milk in a bowl.
- Mix in the sugar and cornstarch, then stir in the rest of the milk.
- Strain the egg mixture into a heatproof container. Microwave at 700 W for about 2 minutes until it's slightly thickened, stirring it once halfway through.
- Mix well, cover the surface with plastic wrap and chill.
- Line the muffin pan with the shortcrust prepared in Step 3: First, divide up the dough.
- Press the pie crust into the muffin pan. (Press it in the bottom of the pan and stretch it to fit.) Work quickly or the dough will get soft and be hard to handle.
- You can also roll the dough out into circles between sheets of plastic wrap. (This is different from the original recipe, but I do it this way when the dough is too soft.)
- Chill the pan in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Mix the heavy cream into the chilled custard mixture from Step 7. Lastly, stir in the vanilla extract.
- The smooth and creamy custard is ready.
- Fill the tart shells with the custard.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 250℃ for approximately 20 minutes. It the tops look like they're getting burned, cover with a sheet of aluminum foil.
- Done. These are absolutely the best eaten piping hot, right out of the oven. But then again, I also love them ice cold. I just can't seem to make up my mind…
I prefer paper liner which is safer than aluminium. You can reduce the sugar used on the crust and the filling to fit your taste, this recipe is. Hong-Kong style egg tarts are probably my favorite pastry. And the best part is…they can be made Chinese or Hong Kong egg tarts can be found in Hong Kong, Macau, and other parts of China. Egg tarts are my favorite Chinese dessert.
