Mini Egg Tarts

Egg tarts are one of my husbands favourite Chinese desserts. We always buy it from the Chinese supermarket. So I decided to bake some. This is my second attempt. The first bake didn’t turn out great. I used ready-made mini tarts from Tesco instead of making my own.

To make the egg custard, you need:

• 6 eggs plus 4 extra egg yolks
• 200ml golden syrup
• 200ml fresh milk
• 200ml water
• 2 tablespoon honey

Method:

1. Lightly beat the eggs and add golden syrup, water, milk and honey.
2. Strain the mixture and pour it into the pastry tarts.
3. Bake at 150c fan assisted for 15 minutes. I had to turn the baking tray every 5 minutes to avoid burning the custard.

There are a few variations to this recipe for egg tarts. I will try them out soon and blog it if it is a success!
