Overview

It is recommended not to buy ready-made egg tart shells to save trouble. Many egg tart shells are made of shortening in order to have more layers. In addition, to reduce costs, hydrogenated vegetable oil contains trans fat, which is very bad for health. You can make more tart shells and put the rest in the freezer. There is no problem in using it within a month. Just take it out in advance and defrost it and then make the tart shell.
