hk style egg tarts (蛋撻) | quarantine food adventures #5

Those HK style egg tarts you can find at a dim sum restaurant or local Chinese bakery have always been such a childhood treat. So we found an easy way to make them at home, with the perfect crust that's in between a full-on puff pastry and a cookie-like short crust. We'd like to call these "modern" HK style egg tarts...with a rustic look that come from using a regular old muffin pan instead of proper egg tart tins. -------------------------------------------------- Ingredients: PASTRY 200 g all purpose flour (~ 1 ½ cups) 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon sugar 200 g unsalted butter (at room temperature but not softened; 14 tablespoons) 2 tablespoons cold water FILLING 1 cup water (just under 1 cup, room temp) 3 large eggs (at room temp) 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (at room temp) 1/2 teaspoon vanilla -------------------------------------------------- Music provided by: — Mark Generous - Orange And Pomegranate - https://thmatc.co/?l=16FD6852 — Clueless Kit - Rooftop - https://thmatc.co/?l=F6688057 — Soundhills - Way to Go - https://soundhills.com GIFs: — Christmas Wow Sticker By Molang - https://gph.is/2zDanSh — Particia Sticker - https://gph.is/st/MxAkq2Y — Flower Plant Sticker By Art Baby Girl - https://giphy.com/gifs/xofqbovzeDVQWC...
