Portuguese Egg Tart
A dessert loved by family and friends that is incredibly simple and fast to make, the perfect companion for afternoon tea! This egg tart was the first dessert I learned when I started baking, and I eventually came up with my own recipe. Now, all my friends are using it!
Ingredients
Steps
Put the egg yolks into a clean bowl, add granulated sugar and stir until dissolved. Then, add low-gluten flour and mix until smooth and without lumps.
Add sifted low-gluten flour and mix thoroughly until smooth and lump-free.
Pour 180 grams of heavy cream into Step 1 and mix well (heavy cream should be warmed to room temperature after taking it out of the fridge).
Add 140 grams of milk and stir until fully blended and lump-free.
Prepare a clean container and use a sieve to strain the tart mixture twice to make it smoother and silkier. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200°C for 10 minutes. Prepare tart crusts (large: 12 / small: 24) and fill each crust 80-90% full with the tart mixture.
Place the trays in the middle-upper rack of the oven and bake at 200°C for 20 minutes until the tart tops turn golden brown.
Let cool, brew a cup of tea, and enjoy this treat!
