Hi Irene,

Yes, it's from Y3K - issue 36. The skin is crispy when it's just out of the oven but after a few hours, it turned soft. What I do is , I rebake again if I want it crispy again.

Overall, it's quite a good recipe.

Hi Aunty Yochana,

Can we use this dough recipe for egg tarts?

I tried baking egg tarts using your recipe posted Sept' 06. It turned out perfect, thanks Aunty. However, my hubby requested for a "crisper" shell, so I am wondering can I use this dough recipe instead.

Also, when I baked the egg custard, the custard seem like boiling, u can actually see the bubble rise and break ... Hence my end results was there are a lot of bubble hole in the custard. But the whole custard was still very smooth n melt in mouth type.

Thanks, Aunty Yochana.

Regards.

Hi Mool,

No..I don't recommend using this recipe for egg tart but you can always give a try. Who knows?? It might turn out to be a hit.

When making egg tarts, try to place the tray nearest to the bottom so that your shell will get cook and become more crispy. Your eggs must not be bubbling. Do not allow the egg custard to bounch up into a ping pong ball. Cover it with an aluminium foil if you see that it's going to happen and your tart shell are still uncook.
