When I traveled on a bus one day during my holidays in Hong Kong, I saw "Road Show" that was a TV program, showing former Hong Kong governor Chris Patten also liked eating egg tarts. There are two kinds of tart shells, one is puff pastry-like (酥皮底), the other cookie-like（牛油皮底）. The governor liked the latter, just like me. The Portuguese egg tart eventually made its way to Hong Kong, where it was influenced by British custard tarts, which are a bit more glassy and smooth.
Instructions to make Egg tart:
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Pastry: Place sugar, egg and butter in mixer and beat until sugar is just dissolved. Add sifted plain flour and mix until dough holds together. Take a teaspoon of dough and create the base on the tart cases. Add more to create the sides. Make sure there are no cracks and dough is pressed firmly into cases. Bake at 180°C for 8 minutes, remove from cases and let cool.
- Golden syrup: Dissolve 140 gm sugar in 120 ml water and bring to boil. Add 2 slices of lemon and let cool.
- Custard: Lightly beat eggs and egg yolks. Combine egg mixture with golden syrup, water, milk and honey. Mix well and strain.
- Pour custard into half balked pastry shells and bake at 170°C until custard is set.
- Open oven door slightly to release heat so the custard doesn't burn.
Ah, the sweet, sweet taste of colonial expansion. Real portuguese egg tarts have puff pastry shells, so I cut circules out of a sheet of puff pastry and lined my tart molds with that. Also used all half and half instead of a combo of heavy cream and milk. To make easy egg tarts, mix together a sweet pastry dough and line small tart tins with it. Then whisk together a filling of eggs, sugar syrup, milk, and vanilla.
