* these pastry doughs are so pampared..need to rest..need to chill..ish..

cut the dough to abt 25g each ... looks like mini mantou

the egg mixture

then line the dough into the mould.. and pour in the egg mixture (duh)

when it's in the oven.. the dough's starting to bloat..

ha.. does it looks like a peach tart or something.. hehe..

tada!!!

the second batch.. wasnt that neatly done..

eat eat eat... yummmy

the amount of stuff use are crazy..it doesnt look thatmuch in quantity..but at the end of it..we made more than 2 dozen portugese egg tarts...wild...enough to distribute to your neighbours..haha..

after trying ourhands at making this..realized that e should probably avoid eating too much of egg tarts..jus look at the ingredients used and it spells calories..haha..

cheers..
