Hong Kong egg tarts

April 26, 2017 0 Comments
27Apr 17

I'm in love with egg tarts. This is the reason why I started to try out baking Hong Kong egg tarts from the scratch. Everyone ask why I make my own crust for the egg tart shell. I replied them, learning always starts from the basic. I discovered the different stages of flaky egg tart shell is due to the amount of butter. Whenever I go for dim sum, egg tarts is always the first to order. Egg tarts is very simple to bake. You just have to find the right recipe.



Let's start our lesson for today. Prepare all the important ingredients and tools for baking.
- Aluminum egg tart shell
- 2L cups to contain the egg filling mixture

Ingredients

Crust
  • 200 grams - All purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon - Salt
  • 1 tablespoon - Sugar
  • 200 grams - Unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoon - Cold water
Egg fillings
  • 3 - eggs
  • 1 cup - Hot water
  • 1/2 cup - Evaporated milk
  • 3/4 teaspoon - Vanilla essence
1. Prepare the crust. In a mixing bowl, pour in the flour, salt, sugar. Add in butter, add cold water to bring the dough together. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

2. After 20 minutes, take the dough out and place it onto the floured board. Roll the dough and cover it. Chill for 30 minutes.

3. Prepare the egg filling while waiting for the dough. Dissolve the sugar in hot water and allow it to cool to room temperature. Mix the eggs and evaporated milk together and add in sugar water and vanilla. 

4. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes. Prepare the dough on the aluminum egg shell. Fill the 3/4 egg filling into the shell. Bake at 180 degree Celsius for 15 to 20 minutes.

Allow the egg tarts to cool and enjoy while hot. Cheers!

Hope everyone enjoy baking. Feel free to post question, I will try my best to answer it. For more information or ideas, you may visit Pinterest.

Great day at The Mind Cafe @ Prinsep Street, we enjoyed ourselves with different types of games. I have never thought of playing board game can so interactive and fun. OMG!!! I'm totally addicted. I'm gonna bring family and friends to try out one day. Away from smartphone and tablet. Sometimes i think smartphone and tablet breaks our family/friends bonding. We really need some precious time together, just like this. Play board game, joke around and laugh out loud throughout the game.

First visit to Populus Coffee & Food Co. Cafe with Friend. The Cafe is small but cozy. All their waiters are very attentive and friendly. Limited selection of food on menu.
Unique about this cafe is the food they served. I find their food very different from other cafe. Pictures speaks a thousand words. Have a look for yourself.

Have a look at their menu. Look closely at the menu, they allow you to add extra toppings to your dishes. It just like DIY your own food.

We went on a Sunday afternoon. Full of people and we have to wait for 45 mins for the seats. I went to this website to make reservation just 30 mins ago. Immediately after making reservation, i went into the cafe and ask the waiter. Hooray!! We got the seats 15 mins later.

Mille crepes is the trend for dessert choice. They always have new flavor of the month. For March to April, new flavor will be Earl grey Mille crepes. The top layer is earl grey. If you are lovers of earl grey, is a must to try it out. Combination of drink is earl grey ice. Strawberry shortcake is one of their signature as well. Every 2 month, I will go try out their new flavor. If you want to know more can head down to your nearest branch or stay tune for updates.
