Ingredients:
Pate Sucree:
125 gm. Butter - chilled
60 gm. icing sugar
1/2 egg white
1 egg yolk
200 gm. plain flour
1/2 tsp. vanilla essence
Egg Custard:
280 gm. fresh milk
160 gm. sugar
3 nos. eggs
1 tsp. rum
1/2 tsp. vanilla essence
Method:
(1) For pate sucree: beat butter and icing sugar till wellmixed.
(2) Add in white and yolk and mix.
(3) Add in vanilla essence and then the flour and mix into a dough. Rest for 10 mins. Press dough into small tart moulds.
(4) Bake the tart shell till half-cooked.
(5) For egg custard, heat sugar and milk together. Once sugar dissolves, off heat.
(6) Whisk eggs and pour into the milk mixture. Do not whisk till frothy.
(7) Add in rum and vanilla essece.
(8) Sift the egg custard and pour into tart moulds and bake at 175C till egg custard sets.
Note:
Half baked should be around 10 mins at 175C. I didn't put the timing cos everybody's oven is different. Judge yourself and see that it's like puff up slightly and turned white.
After pouring in the custard, bake at a lower shelf to make sure that the pastry will be cooked at 175C. Bake for about 10 mins and watch over it. If you see the custard is about to puff up into a ball, take it out from the oven immediately. Once it puffs up, the egg tart will wrinkle when it's cooled. What you can do is to shake the tray of egg tarts and if the custard wobbles, then it a sign that it's not cook and if it doesn't wobble, then it's set and you can take it out from the oven.
Enjoy!

hiya yochana
what brand of custard do u use? thanks!
jen,
I don't use custard powder for my egg tarts.
You can use any brand...no particular brand needed. Bird's eyes, easily available.

opps i am dreaming again! hehehe pardon me for my lack of sleep :P i saw egg custard and link it to custard powder :P
Aunty,
I was wondering how long did you bake to make sure the pastry is half cook and at what temperature?
Then the second time you bake the egg tart with custard, how long did you bake?

Hello Aunty Yochana...
I have been visiting your site faithfully since I stumble upon it recently. I'm very inspired by your 'works' and also the energy to create something new everyday. My two young boys leave me with little time and energy to attempt many recipes although I love to bake. But I have been so..so..very motivated by you that I endeavour to find time for myself to bake something each week. Afterall, a happy mum is a good mum and the boys do get to enjoy the product.
Thanks you for the inspiration!
Sulin
Dear Sulin,

Dear Yochana,
Hello! I'm new to your site. I've been looking for recipe on a local kueh Steamed Sugar cake or 'Pak Tong Koh' in Cantonese. Would you be able to help me with a recipe..? I've tried two different recipes, but the kueh turned out to be dense and wet in the center and it did not have the 'holes' that is expected of the kueh. Thanks.
Ya..ok.. I will try to post the recipe for pak thong koh. I have done it successfully but I hope you do succeed in it too cos' it's not an easy task though..

Hi Lucy
Just want to say thanks for this great recipe. Made it today and everyone loved it. The egg custard is so soft. Just one question though, in your recipe you said "rest" the dough for 10mins. Is this "resting" done in room temperature or in the fridge?
Hi Linda,
Thank you for your comments on the egg tarts.
Dough resting for 10 mins depends on your dough. If it's sticky, rest in the fridge but if it's not sticky, room temp will be just fine. Anyway, resting in the fridge is a better option though.
rgds.
Yochana, tried ur recipe yesterday. The egg custard was very nice - smooth n soft exactly like the ones ppl sell. But the crust was a lil too brown cos the custard took so long too set. Had to bake total time 175C for 30 mins, instead of suggested total time of 20 mins. Can u advise wht went wrong? For my 2nd batch - i lowered the temp to 150C after filling with custard filling but end results still same - just took longer time for custard to set but crust is still brown like 1st batch.
Hi aunty yochana :
May I know the recipe can make how many tarts?
Thanks
regards,
Alice
Anonymous,
Each individual oven is different and so for you, you need not pre-bake your tart first. Just pour the egg custard straightaway into the tart shell and bake as what you have done. I suggest you cut off the prebaking time for your tart shell.
rgds.
Hi Alice,
I forgot to count how many egg tarts it yields. Hope someone out who tried it has counted how many it yields.
It depends on how thick you press your dough into the tart mould. If you make thin tart shell, then you will yield more than those who loves to eat thick tart shell.
rgds.
Hi Yochana,
Would you have a recipe for egg tart where the pastry shell is flaky... many layers of very thin pastry...? Would thus kind of pastry need to be pre-half bake before adding in the egg custard...? Thanks!
Hi anonymous,
there is one thousand layer egg tart recipe in Jo's Deli. No need to pre-bake. Pour in the custard and bake. My oven can control top heat and lower heat , so i just on the lower heat. if you don't have this, cover the top with aluminium when the custard is about to set and continue baking till tart base is golden brown.
rgds.
Hi aunty,
Make egg tarts during the weekends. My eldest daughter loves it so much. I always thought the pastry is hard to make so never dare to try until last saturday. thanks for such a nice & easy recipe.
You're welcome Delia,
Glad your son like it too.
rgds
hi yochana,
my oven did have top and btm heat but it dint have just btm heat.as u metioned i could use the aluminium foil to wrap on the top part of the crust so i can achieve a golden brown crust on the btm part rite? so which rack did normaly prebake just the crust on? mine also have charred top crust.what should i do?
Cheryl
Hi cheryl,
Use the most bottom rack to blind bake your tart shell.
rgds.
aunt yochana,
how do you control the thickness of the pastry? i've tried making it and each of it has got different thickness. Any method to make sure i'll have same thickness to all my casings? Anyway i prefer thinner crusts.
can i make the crust dough a day before and store it in the fridge to be used the next day?
thanks!
Hi anonymous,
To make the tarts of even thickness, roll them between 2 plastic sheets, then cut out with a cutter and place into the tart mould. Rolling will help you to roll the thickness to your preference.
Yes, these egg tarts can be prepared much earlier and then kept in the fridge. Thaw it before using.
rgds
aunt yochana,
thanks for your clarification. this means that we pre-bake the tart casings then cool it and store in the fridge? do we need to store it in air-tight container?
thanks again!:)
Hi anonymous,
you can either bake or non-bake your tart shell. If you prebake your tart shell, then you have to keep it in the cookie container to preserve the crispness. You can also mould the dough into the tart mould, then keep it in the frige, take it out , thaw it and bake as when you needed it.
rgds
hi Aunty yochana!
my friends and I baked the eggtarts and really enjoyed them!! So yummy!!
a quick question: what's the purpose of 'resting' the dough?
thank you very much!!
rgds
Ioyces
Hi ioyces,
It's best to rest dough before moulding into tart mould so that it will not shrink back when you bake it. And you will also find that it's easier to handle the dough after chilling and resting it.
rgds
Dear Aunty,
Can I omit the rum and use kirsh instead ?
Thanks
Maha
Hi Maha,
If you don't have rum, omit it. Don't use Kirsch, it's not suitable.
rgds
Thanks aunty, but i used self raising flour instead of plain flour .. I had 10 moulds only so I used 25% of the recipe ..
Turn out not bad but not that perfect .. I wld try again ..
But I noticed that aft baking, the tart abit wet at the bottom part, why isit that so aunty ?
Must I make the tart's daough very thin when I place into the mould ?
Thanks
Maha
Hi Maha,
Place your tarts at the bottom, the last rack at the bottom so that the pastry will get cook.
If you find that your pastry is not cooked, place the whole tray of tarts onto the base and bake for another 3 to 5 mins. to brown the pastry.
rgds

Hi Aunty Yochana.
I made some egg tarts today using your recipe. They tasted delicious, so thank you for your recipe but they didn't look as yummy as yours!
Any tips on how to achieve that perfect shape like yours? Your crust looks solid and firm, with the right amount of dough. Please do teach me - I've always wanted to make perfect egg tarts! Thank you.
Hi anonymous,
just take some dough and press into the mould using your thumb.

Hi Julie,
first of all, no need to grease your tart mould cos your dough is oily enough and of course you use the liquid rum.

hi aunty yochana.
i need help on the egg tart recipe posted in your blog. when u say beat butter n sugar til well mixed, do u mean to use mixer n mix it like when making a cake?
if i keep the baked tarts in the fridge, will the shell still remain crispy after a few days?
thanks
Hi anonymous,
If you bake blind tart shell, they came for at least more than 7 days in airtight containers. Keep in the fridge. If you are talking about baked egg tarts, then it's best to eat fresh cos after chilling in the fridge, the egg custard on top might crack.
rgds
Hi Aunty
how much milk in ml is 280gm? Why do some measure liquid in gm?
my oven is those with top and bottom heating. I baked some cookies during CNY and when I put in the next batch, i followed the same temp and time but the bottom turned darker than the 1st batch. Do i have to lower the temp for 2nd batch or do I reduce the cooking time?
Thanks for sharing.
Hi sherrie,
100 gm is the same as 100 ml. They are the same.
the reason why the second batch of cookies normally turned darker in colour is because the oven is already heated up to more than required when you place the second tray of cookies in. If you do not like the darker colour on the second tray, lower down the temperature and wait for a while before placing the tray in.
rgds
Hi Yochana
Did you use yellow coloring becos yours looked very yellowish. Mine was more on the "white" side.
Thanks for advance. Hope you will answer.
Hi anonymous,
I did not add in any colouring.
The egg yolks itself gave the colour. Sometimes if you eggs are on the whiter side, add in a drop of egg yolk colour then.
rgds
Hi aunty,
What type of fresh milk did you use? Can I use evaporated milk instead?
Thanks! :)
Hi anonymouys,
yes you can use arrowroot too.

Hi Aunty Yochana!
When blind baking, don't we have to prick the pastry with fork or put on some weight like red bean/rice on it?
Wouldn't it puff up?
Also, after blind baking, I suppose the shell will hold it's shape. So can I remove it from its mould and pour custard in each shell, place them on baking tray lined with parchment and bake them till custard set? Sorry...I asked this cuz I've only got 5 moulds and my boyfriend, he really love egg tarts. I really really wanna make this for him...We are always craving for local delicacies like that having stayed abroad for a long period.Thanks!
Hi Quinn,
Yes it's better to put in pie weight to prevent the tarts from puffing up. Cool the tarts slightly before pouring in the custard to prevent the tart shell from seeping all the eggs.
rgds
Hi Yochana,
I'm in the middle of making these beautiful egg tarts. I really need your help about the dough, when i mixed it, it turned gewy and not hard like normal dough, should i put more plain flour? i Tried, but still it was gewy.
Is it surposed to be like this?
pls help, Janice.
Hi Janice,
did you follow the method to the T? If you mix it the other way round, the dough will turn chewy. O.k. to rectify the problem, add in some cold water and mix till a pliable dough is formed. Do let me now whether it works..
Happy baking.
rgds
Thanks! it worked greatly.
i yielded about 12 tarts mainly because i had quite thick crust D;
That's one thing to say, how delicous the egg custard is!!!. I've tried yr recipe yesterday. My daughter likes it so much and she can finished 2 pcs within some mins. Thanks so much Yochana. This is mine if you have time to see it.

Hi Yochana,

Hi Shawna,
bake at the lowest rack so that your colour will be even.

hi aunty..
your egg tart recipe is simple and nice. love it!
i know it is best to have it fresh but what if i want to keep it for maybe next day for breakfast coz i do not have time for baking in the morning? how do i handle the tarts?
hi foodlover,
Keeping overnight will definitely leave you a soft and soggy pastry.
What you can do is to prepare your pastry tart in the mould, chill it till the next day. You also prepare your filling in advance. So for breakfast, switch on the oven earlier before you shower, then after shower, pour the fillings into the tart shell and let it bake while you dress up.

Hi Aunty,
May I ask how can i remove the tarts from the mould without spoiling the custard? Also, my dough turns out to be quite wet/sticky. Anything i can do to revert this situation?
Thanks!
hi anonoymous
I would appreciate if you could a name. I will not be answering to any questions if it's an anonymous.
the egg tarts can be removed easily, just turn it upside down onto your palms and the dough has no problem. I have done this so many times for the past 25 years and it is not wet and sticky. What you should do is to put the dough into the fridge and chill it before you mould it. The liquid could be too much.

2. The custard was very watery. It get absorb by the crust. What is the form the custard should be in to be put into the crust?

In this egg tart can i decorate with fruits before serving. I need your suggestions please.

these egg tarts are meant to be eaten on it's own but if you want to decorate with fruits, I don't see why you can't. Normally for fruits tart, we use creme pastiserrie.
rgds
hi Hoegarden,
firstly you must learn the art of mould the pastry thinly into the moulds.
If you half-bake the tarts, leave it to cool before pouring in the custard. Actually for egg tarts, you do not have to half-bake the shells.
rgds
Hi Aunty Yochana, can i check with u what r the possible reasons for the custard not to puff out like a ball while baking? Also if possible.. can u further explain the flaky egg tart with the oil & water dough? really hope to learn that =) if possible can put in little pixs to show the folding of the 2 doughs? thks a lot!!
Humm, love your pate sucree :))
hi aunt yochana, is it okay if i dont add in the rum or can replace it with anything else?

Aunty Yochana,
U are the highlight of my day. I just want to express my gratitude for your passion that brought us this recipe. Egg Custard is Def one of my fav tarts that i havent had for awhile and been looking for a recipe to make it. I made these tasty egg tarts over the weekend and i have to say that i fall in love with it. It tastes just like the one i had back home. It lightens my day and warms me up. Thanks so much!
hi Aunty yochana,
I omit using rum, and now my tarts are tasteless. Any idea how to make it tasty ? Why did the custard has brown circles around them? Also, my egg tarts were wrinkled when it's cooled.
I've never attend cooking class, and hope you can guide me somewhere.
Thanks
Yvonne
hello aunty,
I've tried making your egg tarts yesterday night, and they turned out super nice :)
The shell and egg custard are firm and soft. We went "gaga" over it.
I'm using top & bottom heat 175C, but need another extra 5 minutes for the custard to firm up.
P/s: I've tried your Chilled Marble Oreo Cheesecake for my birthday, I can only said..."It's heavenly" Thanks again, aunty!
Hi Yochana!
Thanks for your wonderful recipes galore!!
Today I tried half baking my tarts beforehand at 170C but they shrank (basically melted)to half their size until I took them out. So do you think it's probably because of the oven temperature or was there a method of half baking because I heard that you use beans to stop the pastry puffing or something.
Thank you!
yochana, wat to do if the shells are not crispy and not cooked when the filling is already cooked??
thanks =)
Dear Aunty Yochana,
Thanks for sharing your lovely recipe. I've tried it last Saturday. Of course, mine didn't look as good as yours, but it's very yummy & my friend's 4-yr-old son gobbled down 3! I think someone wanted to know how many egg tarts can be made using your recipe. It's 20 egg tarts.

Hi Aunt Yoochana. I've made egg tarts several times now, and they're great! So maybe it's a bit weird that I'm asking this now, but what do you mean by 'Do not whisk until frothy'?
Hi
do not beat until frothy means : don't create bubbles on the eggs.

Hi Yochana,
Made this today and everyone loves it. I like to share my experiences with all egg tarts lovers here :-)
At first I baked half the portion, placed the tarts on lower rack @ 175C for about 25 mins. Pastry turned out okay except the custard puffed up and collapsed after being brought out of the oven. The custard appeared sunken in the middle. My brother loves it anyway and I decided to finish up the remaining half portion.
This time I baked the tarts on middle rack @ 180C for 20 mins. And everything turned out beautifully.
For both batches, I did not pre-bake the tart shells.
Thanks Yochana for sharing your recipe.
Hi aunty yochana,
what does "nos" means?
You wrote 3nos eggs.Because me and my friends are going to have a fair at school soon and we want to find a cheap yet nice recipe for egg tart to sell :D
Regards,
Mayghan
3 nos. means 3 numbers (3 pieces).

Hello Aunty Yochana,
Do you need to wait for the pre-baked pastry to cool down before pouring the egg custard?
Or can you pour in the egg custard once you take the pre-baked pastry from the oven?
Thank you :)

Hi aunty yochana,
If I want my egg tart to be more egg, can I add in 4 eggs instead of 3?
