Egg Tarts Recipe

 

 

 

Ingredients:

• For the Crust:
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 dash vanilla extract
• For the Custard:
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 9 eggs, beaten
  • 1 dash vanilla extract
  • 1 cup evaporated milk

Instructions:

1. Make the Dough:
   • Mix together the confectioners’ sugar and flour in a bowl.
   • Blend in the butter with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Add the beaten egg and vanilla extract, mixing just until the dough forms a ball. Don’t overwork the dough.
   • Refrigerate the dough while making the custard.
2. Prepare the Custard:
   • Combine sugar and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cook until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
   • Strain the eggs through a sieve, and add the sugar water and evaporated milk. Mix well, then strain again to ensure it’s smooth. Add a dash of vanilla extract.
3. Shape the Tarts:
   • Roll out the dough and cut out rounds. Press the rounds into tart molds. Make sure the dough comes to the edges of each mold.
   • Pour the custard into the dough shells.
4. Bake:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Place the tarts in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the custard is set but still jiggly in the center.
5. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the tarts cool in the pans for a few minutes, then remove and cool on a wire rack.
   • Serve the tarts warm or at room temperature.

These tarts are a delightful treat and can be enjoyed any time of day. Adjustments can be made to the custard or crust as desired for different flavors or textures. Enjoy your baking! If you have any more requests or need adjustments to the recipe, feel free to ask.
