Portuguese Egg Tarts with Store Bought Puff Pastry

 Portuguese Egg Tarts 

with Store Bought Puff Pastry

Adapted recipe from: https://youtu.be/VGyOHX9NuFk 

SERVING : 24 small/medium tarts

INGREDIENTS

• Kawan puff pastry (small one)

EGG MIXTURE

• 40g whole egg (I used 2 small eggs)
• 4 egg yolks
• 90g sugar (I used 4 tablespoons)
• 300ml whipping cream 
• 150g milk (I used leftover condensed milk in the tin + water)

STEPS

1. Defrost the puff pastry 30 minutes till they are pliable. 3 pieces make 1 roll. You should have 3 rolls. There are 10 sheets in one packet. Then there will be 1 piece extra. I cut it into 3 and add on to each of the 3 rolls. 
2. So now you have 3 big cylinders. Cut each into 8 small circles. 
3. Shape each circle into the tart mould (I'm using disposable ones). Make the tart shell taller than the mould at least 1 to 2 cm. The crust will shrink after baking. Freeze them a while meanwhile preparing the egg mixture.  
4. Mix all the egg mixture ingredients together. Sieve to get a smooth mixture. 
5. Pour the egg mixture 80% full into each tart shell. 
6. I watched another video. It says that if you layer aluminium foil on the tray and then have the tart moulds on top, then you can fill it 80% full.. Otherwise, fill it only 60% full. 
7. Bake at 200 degree Celsius for 20 - 30 minutes. 
8. Remove from mould to prevent the bottom from turning soggy. 
9. Cool completely before eating. Otherwise it's mushy.
