Egg Tart Making Project

We decided to embark on our egg tart making project after dinner last night.. Found the recipe online and decided to follow it. We were excited and were looking forward to having yummy egg tarts!! =p

Crust
We started with making the dough for the crust... First had to beat butter (we used margarine) and sugar till creamy. We were taking turns to mix it... Hehe...

Next had to add in egg and mix them. Then had to add in flour and mix into a dough. This is how the dough looked like...

Custard Filling

That's all for the dough and we had to proceed to make the custard filling... First, have to mix the egg and sugar...

Then add milk and continue to mix...

Next, had to place the dough into the mould and pour the filling into the crust...

Crust only... We had a hard time doing this. Think we have not mastered the technique yet. The edges of the crust were uneven and looked ugly. Furthermore, the dough kept shrinking and sliding down. Well, we tried our best to make it...

With the custard filling poured in...

Then into the oven they went to be baked and we waited patiently for them to be done... We hoped that even though they don't look nice they will taste nice.. While they were baking our house was filled with the fragrant aroma of egg tarts...

Tata!! Our own egg tarts fresh from the oven... We could not wait to try them. Hehe!! =p Well in the end they really do not look very presentable. Guess they can only be for own consumption. Have to improve on the look if we were to ever give them to people. Taste wise they were quite OK, tasted even better today after being in the fridge overnight. However, the crust was a little too hard. Maybe cos it was too thick? I am not sure... Guess we will have to improve on this so stay tuned for our 2nd attempt... =p
