These Chinese egg tarts are a very good dessert that's almost like a custard! Use caution when eating the tart since the inside can still be very hot.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon baking powder
⅛ teaspoon salt
4 ounces butter, softened
3 tablespoons cold water
¾ cup hot water
½ cup white sugar
3 eggs
2 tablespoons evaporated milk
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 small (3 1/2-inch) fluted brioche pans.
  • Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Add butter and cold water; mix until dough forms into a ball.
  • Roll dough on a lightly floured work surface with a lightly floured rolling pin to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut dough into rounds and press lightly into the prepared pans.
  • Mix hot water and sugar in a bowl until sugar melts. Whisk in eggs; pour in evaporated milk and vanilla extract and mix well. Divide egg mixture between dough shells.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until egg is almost firm in the middle, 14 to 16 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
