Recipe: Egg Tart

I'm on a baking frenzy! To think I even said I'm not baking till I get my mixer, I knew I was kidding myself. There's like nothing to eat home? And I enjoy running around my house telling my folks I'm done baking and haste them to try then wait for compliments from their face before I ask for improvements.

Anyhow! I got this recipe from Huili's mum. She bakes the best egg tart.



Here's my end product. I baked it for 25 + 15 + 15 minutes cause my oven is spoilt, but NO! I'm not going to stop baking just because of this.

Ingredients:

A -cook and cool completely

50g sugar
50g water
1 slice lemon

B

3 yolks + 2 whites
50g evaporated milk
35g water

Mix A and B together.

Pastry

90g butter
150g sifted plain flour
30g milk powder/ coffeemate
1 tablespoon icing sugar
1 egg yolk

Directions:

Bake for 170C for 25 minutes or until egg is firm.

A

Squeeze a slice of lemon through the filter.
Please cut the lemon not in the way it is in the photo. To think of it, I was pretty dumb.
Cut it in wedge so you can squeeze it easily.

Boil and let cool aside.

B

Separate 1 yolk by cracking the egg into half and switching the yolk from one shell to another a few times then crack 2 eggs in.

Use the left over white to cook maggie mee.

Add 50g evaporated milk.

Evaporated milk is healthier than condensed cause it's just milk having most of it's water contain stripped but no added sugar.

Add 35g water.

My baking post is idiot proof.

Mix them!

A+B

Add in A into B then set aside.

I hope you don't have STM and remember what is A and B.

Pastry

Add all the ingredients under pastry together and mix them before you mix flour in bit by bit.

It'll look like this when you're done mixing with a mixer.

Use your hand to mix/ press them together.

Take a reasonable amount press them flat and wide between your palms and lay it on the foil. The rest of the place that's not covered just use bits and pieces to fit them.

Doesn't matter if it's ugly so long there's no holes. No wonder can see it after you pour the egg in!

Fill them with egg (A + B).

Makes 9 egg tarts.
I'm not sure of the size of the foils I used. Prolly 3 inches but it's up to you.
Large or tiny egg tarts.

Look like halved peach.
Let cool for 1 minute before you eat them.
It's hot.
