A little time and energy consuming but it’s worth the work and i usually do 3 set of this at one go. I have trial and error the various egg tart recipes before coming out with this.

Anyway, check out my web for a pictorial steps in the making of these tarts: http://jumphopdrop.livejournal.com/

  • Firstly, prepare the WATER DOUGH: Mixed the first five ingredients well and lightly knead for about 2 minutes until a sticky dough is formed. Set it aside.
  • Next, prepare the OIL DOUGH: Mixed 50g cake flour and 2tbsp butter. Do not knead this dough.
  • Divide the Water dough and Oil dough into 10 portions where water and oil doughs are at 3:2 ratio. Roll each dough into a ball shape.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out a water dough. Wrap oil dough in this water dough to form a ball
  • Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a long oval shape. After that, roll it into a swiss-roll. Give the dough a ninety degree turn , and again, roll the dough out and do a swiss-roll. Finally, roll the dough into a flat round shape. Place the dough into a small pastry tin. Repeat the same procedure for the rest of the dough.
  • For Filling: Dissolves sugar in hot water. Mixed eggs and milk together followed by the sugar water. Sieve the mixture to remove lumps. Set aside.
