Hong Kong - style egg tart (蛋撻)


This is a story about trial and error. After a failed attempt to produce a decent looking egg tart a few weekends ago, I have worked on it for a couple of times. Following the exact recipe everytime, and finally get the hang of it of when to change the heat, and when to stop baking. Persistence do pay off! :)

D gave me a 90/100 for this. I am happy :)

This recipe scaled down from Christine's. Her recipe is always brilliant..such a savior for beginner like me.

2) Add in Flour, mix to form and dough.
3) Leave in fridge while preparing for the egg.
