These... are one of my favourite... and finally I got down to making them! And this pic was from last night! They ROCK!!!
Egg Tarts
Make about 20 tart skins 7cm x 3cm
Tart Skin: Crumb Boss Basic Cookie Dough (with tweaks)
Plain Flour 1.5 cups (355g)
Butter 113.4g (4 oz)
Confectioner’s Sugar 1 cup (236.6g)
Egg Yolks 3
Vanilla Extract ½ tsp
Egg filling
Whole eggs 3
Caster Sugar 100g
Hot Water 225g
Evaporated Milk 85g
Vanilla Extract ½ tsp
Method:
Tart:
Cream butter and confectioner’s sugar together for about 5mins till its
creamy white and fluffy. Add in egg yolks, vanilla extract and mix
well. Add in Sifted flour and work into a dough. Do not overmix/beat or
you’ll end up with a tough product. Let it sit in the fridge for about ½
hr if its too soft or use immediately. Roll out on floured board and
cut out circles with circle cutter and line tart base. Use a fork to
poke the base a few times (to prevent air trapped below from mis-shaping
the skin). Bake blind in preheated over at 180 deg for about 5mins.
Filling:
Mix caster sugar with hot water and stir until all dissolved. Let it
cool till lukewarm. Beat eggs with hand beater/fork and add in the rest
of the ingredients together. Run the mixture through the sieve to remove
bubbles and undissolved egg particles. This will ensure you get a
smooth product.
Fill
into tart blinds till brim and bake in the oven at about 160-170
degrees until tart skin is golden and the eggs are not longer watery in
the middle when you shake them, about 20mins.
