Delicious Hong Kong Egg Tarts

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Hong Kong Egg Tarts.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 425°F (220°C). This will ensure your tarts bake to perfection. Next, grab a saucepan and combine the water and sugar. Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves. Once done, remove it from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they are fluffy and well combined. Pour in the evaporated milk and continue to beat until everything is nicely blended. Now, add the cooled sugar water to the egg mixture, stirring gently until it's all well incorporated. Place your tart shells on a baking sheet, ready for the delicious filling. To ensure a smooth custard, strain the mixture through a sieve into a cup with a spout. This will help remove any lumps and give you that silky texture. Carefully fill each tart shell with the custard mixture, being mindful not to overfill. Now, it's time to bake! Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the tarts bake for about 20 minutes, or until the custard puffs slightly and is mostly firm. The aroma will be irresistible! Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delightful treats warm or at room temperature, and watch them disappear!
