egg tarts I

notes

  • crust works. but very very troublesome when handling if want to keep maintaining the dough at a low temperature. have to find a new way to handle it — either be really fast, or keep it away from hands
  • the salt added for the pastry dough is important!!
  • custard tasted slightly cheesish to some — either the cream was left too long in the fridge and fermented partially (i hope not), or its just too much egg and cheese and overwhelming. o.O?
  • custard was bubbling in the oven. explained by the fat in the cream boiling and ..making it all oily and not smooth.
  • end result is quite quite rich. :\

in future…

  • consider 1/2 cream 1/2 milk, or just simply milk + flour (find a good ratio)
  • pastry dough was troublesome. just use hands and be fast? and use a larger food processor.
  • trim edges so it looks more presentable. :p
  • dust excess flour off the dough so end product isn’t too “floury”
