  8. Take out the refrigerated tart shell ingredients, roll them into a rectangular shape, roll them into long strips, and cut them into sections. (I rolled it into small balls and put them in the mold for later use.) Use your thumbs to press the dough outwards in the mold to evenly cover the inside of the tart mold. Place the finished tart shell in the refrigerator.

  10. Bake for 10-15 minutes. During this period, observe the degree of condensation of the tart water and the degree of coloring of the tart crust. You can use chopsticks to poke the tart liquid to feel the degree of coagulation. Bake the tart crust until it is light brown.
