Have you ever seen an egg tart THIS HUGE? Came across this idea of making a giant egg tart yesterday and decided to go for it!
The recipe I used is for making 24 small Chinese egg tarts. Small ones should be baked in 150*C heat from above and 210*C heat from below for 30 mins. For this one, I baked it for 45 mins at 180*C, testing the egg filling’s texture along the way. Unlike making the pastry for the huge berry pie, making the pastry for this tart was much more messy. The dough couldn’t really be rolled out properly because it was basically just a cookie dough and therefore break easily, spreading it to a round tart shape with a 27 cm diameter with a pin roller was hopeless. I just used my fingers and palms…The cookie base of the tart is therefore too thick. The taste is fine, the egg filling is perhaps a bit too sweet for my taste, but surprisingly, when you eat it with the cookie base, the whole thing together taste less sweet.
