Portuguese egg tarts ,is one of the favorites egg tarts.My family favorites too, and can say it's number 1 at the moment.With the crispy skin and yummy creamy filling,while it still warm, its so delicious. For the pastry I used puff pastry and you can refer here for how I press the pastry into the tart mould.This recipe I adapted from Alex Goh's book I share the recipe here.I did some changes in the recipe, which you can find it in the red text.
Ingredients: makes: 24 pcs
For puff pastry
(A)
200 gm flour
25 gm butter
1/8 tsp salt
110 gm water.
(B)
150 gm Pastry margarine
Filling:
200 gm dairy whipping cream
300 gm milk
80 gm sugar *(edited on april 2012)
3 eggs
3 egg yolks
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
Method:
to make puff pastry:
Mix (A) to form a smooth dough,let it rest for 15 minutes.
Roll the dough into square, and wrap up pastry margarine.
Then roll into rectangular,fold into 3 layer once and 4 layer twice.
In between the folding method, you can rest the dough, if you fine it hard to roll out.
You can wrap in cling floil, and rest for 30 minutes, but I like rest it overnight.
to make filling:
Cook whipping cream and milk until 70C.
Stir in sugar and cook until the sugar dissolves.
Add it into the beaten eggs and egg yolks.
Mix until well blended.
Lastly add in vanilla essence and set aside to cool.
Roll the pastry to a rectangular shape about 3 mm thick.Roll it up like swiss roll.Chill until firm.
Divide pastry into 25 gm portions,flatten the pastry and roll it into about 3 mm thickness.Press onto the tart moulds.Or, directly press it onto the tart mould, as here, no need to flatten it first.
Pour the filling into the pastry tarts about 80% full.
bake at 220C for 20-25 minutes.Serve.
Pour in the filling just before put it into the oven.Don't let the filling sit in the tart mould for a long time.
You can roll it first , then press onto the mould , OR...
You can directly press it onto the mould......I prefer this method, easy.

*For filling, I do shortcut way, I add all the filling ingredients,stir until the sugar dissolve.
Strain the mixture, then pour it into the tart mould and bake.Pour in the filling just before put it into the oven.Don't let the filling sit in the tart mould for a long time.

How many gram is the sugar for the filling?
Hi Anonymous, it's 80 gm sugar.
Thanks for pointing it out, really appreciate it :) and Happy Baking :)
Hi, I was wondering how we supposed to grease the mold? using oil?
Hi Anonymous,
Make sure you don't pour too much egg mixture, don't let the eggs mixture overflow while baking.
Make sure , when you press the pastry onto the mould, it don't have holes.
Then you'll be save, it won't stick to the mould at all.
Hope this helps :)
Happy Baking !!!
Can I know is yr Pastry margarine the same as d plain margarine? Thz
Hi Daphne,
Nope, they are not the same. You can get those pastry margarine from bakery ingredients.
Looks SO good! Will it make a big difference if I omit the pastry margerine?
They look SO good. Just asking, will it make a big difference if I leave out the pastry margarine?
Hi Anonymous,
