Pastry egg tart

Overview

I have fallen in love with baking until now, but I have never had the courage to try baking for fear of being hit if I fail. In order to participate in this fashion competition event today, I mustered up the courage to give it a try. It was not as difficult as I thought. The ready-made tart shells bought outside are usually wrapped in margarine. If you make your own, use animal butter. It is healthier and you can eat it with confidence!
