Egg Tarts

on
Suddenly I was craving for egg tarts and started to itch about making it.  Browsed through a few bloggers's lovely egg tarts and was kind of undecided which recipe to adapt.






I have never make any egg tarts before, some say the filling is a bit difficult to get it right, etc,etc.  And this being my maiden attempt, I want to get it right.  So I decided to adapt Lena's which I feel a lot easier for my first attempt on egg tarts.  These are really easy to make and so good to pair off with a cup of nice tea or kopi.    Crispy skin and smooth egg filling ... just the perfect tarts for me ... love it so much and I shared some with my neighbours who enjoyed very much too.  Thanks, Lena for sharing  - this recipe is worth keeping and repeating.

    lena - I love flaky skin type too. Look forward to it and hope it's not difficult at all.

    Min - I thought so too that egg tarts are not easy to make but this recipe not is very easy. Try it when you are free.

    Anncoo - I actually thought of giving you a buzz but thought you are normally busy on week ends. Help yourself to the tarts. ;)

    I love eating egg tarts but not the process of putting the crust into the mould lol! I find that very tedious especially when my sons want a very thin crust so I have to get it as thin as I could and that is such a chore! Yours look so yummy!
