Egg tarts have always been one of my favorite items when eating dim sum. I never thought I would be able to make it at home until my friend shared her grandmother’s egg tart recipe!
We added vanilla extract which made it a yellower color and gave it a hint of vanilla flavor. If you like the traditional egg tart taste then you could definitely do without.
I hope you enjoy these as much as I did!
This recipe makes 12 egg tarts.
Ingredients:
1/3 block cream cheese
Butter 4 oz
1 cup flour
2 cups and 1 ounce milk – heat 1 minute in microwave (optional)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
1/4 Tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Directions:
1. Combine flour, cream cheese, and butter and knead with hand until it becomes a dough
2. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight
3. Heat milk in microwave and add sugar. Stir well.
4. Whisk eggs. Pour in milk mixture slowly in parts while whisking. Add vanilla and stick in fridge for at least one hour
5. Take out refrigerated dough. Cut into 12 parts. Shape into circles.
6. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick oil
7. Shape the dough in the muffin tins so it fills up the sides. Poke a few holes on the bottom of the crust
8. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
9. Strain egg mixture twice right when filling the crusts. Fill about 4/5 of the crust so it does not overflow
10. Bake for 20 minutes
