My last attempt on egg tarts were... kind of a disaster. I was trying to make Portuguese egg tarts, and cheated with store bought puff pastry, ahaha... BUT! This time I made everything from scratch. It gives me more of a feeling of satisfaction than if I used store-bought pastry again.
Also known as 蛋挞 (dan tah in canto), these mouth-watering gems are apparently listed number 16 onWorld's Most Delicious Foods, LOL. Guess what's number 1? I'll tell you at the end of this post. =D
My little babies baking in the oven. Yes, your eyes are not tricking you. I actually used muffin tins to make these. They worked out surprisingly well. The hardest thing about this was probably shaping the dough into each hole. Especially with the hot weather today, I had to work quickly or the dough would lose its shape.
Here they are fresh out of the oven! The tarts are ready when the custard gives a slight wobble when shaken, and the smell of butter fills the kitchen.
I was kind of worried that the tartlets would be stuck in the tins, but they popped out easily with the help of a butter knife.
Best eaten when fresh, piping hot out of the oven. 
The pastry was crusty and flaky, crumbling in the mouth, matching perfectly with the jiggly egg custard. Delicious!
World's Most Delicious Food is.... Massaman Curry from Thailand. Interstingly, Chocolate made it to number 3, and Chilli Crab from Singapore is number 35.
