Ingredients
Steps
-
Put the ingredients into a bowl and knead into a smooth dough
-
Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes before using
-
When refrigerating the dough, let’s deal with the butter used to wrap ingredient B: put the butter in plastic wrap
-
Use a rolling pin to pound and roll into a rectangular shape, then refrigerate
-
Take out the refrigerated dough, sprinkle with flour on the table, and roll it into a large piece; put the butter for wrapping in the middle of the dough sheet
-
Fold the sides toward the center without exposing the wrapped butter. Wrap it well
-
With the edge facing down, roll it into a rectangle as regular as possible
-
Fold the left and right quarters toward the center
-
Then fold it in half, like folding a quilt. This step is commonly known as folding a quilt. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 15 minutes or freeze it for about 7 minutes. The dough will harden. This step is the first time you fold a quilt
-
Then repeat steps 7, 8, and 9 twice in order to complete folding the quilt twice. After each folding of the quilt, put the dough sheet in the refrigerator to refrigerate or freeze it to harden the dough sheet before proceeding. Whether the egg tart can be layered depends entirely on these steps. After folding the quilt three times, take the dough sheet out of the refrigerator and place it on the table
-
Roll out into a large rectangular sheet about 3 mm thick
-
Roll up from the wide edge as tightly as possible, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes
-
Take out the dough roll and place it on the table. You can prepare a little flour
-
Divide the dough roll into 12 equal parts
-
Take one of them, lightly dip one cut side in flour, and not dip the other side in flour. Put the flour-dipped side up and place it in the egg tart mold
-
Press around with your fingers to spread the tart crust evenly over the tart mold, with the edge slightly higher than the tart mold
-
Complete the 12 egg tart shells in turn. Connect the completed egg tart shells into molds and put them in the refrigerator for more than 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes to make the egg tart shells harder
-
Let's mix the egg tart liquid. Put Ingredients C into a bowl until the sugar is fully dissolved
-
After mixing thoroughly, filter through a sieve to make the egg tart liquid more delicate
-
Take out the hardened egg tart shell from the refrigerator, pour the egg tart liquid until it is 70% full, and start preheating the oven to 210 degrees
-
Put the egg tart into the oven, middle layer, 210 degrees, 15-20 minutes, when the skin is golden and brown spots appear in the middle of the tart liquid, take it out of the oven
-
Although the process is a bit cumbersome, the homemade egg tarts are really delicious
