  • In this video I will show you how to make Hong Kong style egg tarts. Usually these are found in dim sum restaurants or Chinese bakeries. It has a flakey, buttery, puff pastry crust and a slightly sweet egg custard filling.
    ~~RECIPE~~
    DOUGH:
    *Butter dough:
    - 1 cup all-purpose flour
    - 1 3/4 stick (which also equals 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp) cold, unsalted butter
    *Water dough:
    - 1 cup all-purpose flour
    - 2 egg yolks (save the egg whites for the filling!)
    - 1/4 cup cold water
    FILLING:
    *Simple syrup:
    - 1/3 cup sugar
    - 1/2 cup water
    *Egg custard:
    - 3 large eggs + reserved egg whites from earlier
    - 1 cup milk
    - 1 tsp vanilla extract
    OTHER INFORMATION:
    *Puff pastry method: 3x4x4
    *Oven temperature: 400°F for approx. 25-30 min (time will vary--cook until crust is light golden brown!)
    *This recipe yields approx. 12-14 tarts
    *Store the egg tarts in the refrigerator & best to eat while HOT! re-heat at 400°F for 5-7 minutes!
    *Tart mold and cookie cutter is 3" diameter
    *Individual tart molds were purchased at Bed Bath & Beyond for 0.79 each!
    I originally learned this recipe from tinyurl.com/o7g4dck. But with my own tweaks and changes, I formulated this new recipe. Hope you enjoy!

    For those who need the written recipe:
    Butter Dough:
    Begin by taking the unsalted butter and cut it into cubes. Make sure the butter is cold at all times to keep the crust flaky. Refrigerate if you need to.
    In a food processor, combine the flour and the butter. Mix the dough only until it becomes a ball and cleans the sides of the processor. Do not overmix.
    Transfer the butter dough over to a large sheet of plastic wrap. Then put a second sheet of plastic wrap on top. Lightly fold the sides over until it resembles a square. Pat the sides gently if need be.
    Refrigerate for fifteen minutes.
    Water Dough
    Separate two of the egg yolks from egg whites. Save the egg whites for later use filling.
    Using the food processor, pour in the flour, egg yolks, and one fourth cup water.
    Keep mixing until it forms a dough ball. If it’s not forming, then maybe add another half of a teaspoon. Keep adjusting until the dough ball forms.
    Folding the dough:
    Make sure you have a well floured surface. Add a bit more flour all around the dough if it is a bit sticky.
    Roll the dough out until it is one fourth of an inch thick. Roll it into a somewhat rhombus shape.
    Take the butter dough out of the fridge. Unwrap it. Place it into the center of the water dough.
    Wrap it up by folding all four corners over the butter dough. One corner at a time.
    Folding technique 3x4x4:
    For the first fold, roll it again about one fourth of an inch thick. Roll it into a somewhat flat round circle.
    Fold it into thirds.
    Wrap it up in plastic wrap while maintaining its form and place it back in the refrigerator for fifteen minutes.
    For the second fold, repeat by rolling the dough again after unwrapping it. Make sure it’s one fourth inch thick. Make sure it’s similar to a rectangle.
    Fold two ends from either short side and make them meet the other ends in the center.
    Then fold one side on top of the other like a book.
    Wrap it up and refrigerate it for another fifteen minutes.
    For the last fold, repeat what you did for the second fold.
    Refrigerate it again for fifteen minutes.
    Egg Custard Filling:
    Simple Syrup
    Combine the sugar and one half cup water together. Microwave for one minute. Set aside.
    Egg Custard
    In a separate bowl, combine three whole eggs, the two egg whites from earlier, one cup of milk, and one tablespoon of vanilla extract. Whisk Together.
    Slowly add in the cooled simple syrup.
    Assembling the Egg Tarts
    Roll out the dough in a quarter inch thickness.
    Use a cookie cutter that is around the same size of your mold.
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit.
    Lay dough over the mold. Then gently press the bottom into the center and slowly work your way around the sides.
    It is easier to work with cold dough. If it is warming up, put it back in the fridge for a few minutes.
    Using a fork, prick the bottoms with small holes, not too many, so the pastry doesn’t become too puffy.
    Fill with egg custard batter.
    Baking 400 degrees fahrenheit for twenty-five to thirty-five minutes or until the crust is a light golden brown colour. Cool on a wire rack. Enjoy.

I did make the slight recipe alteration by using a blend of unsalted and salted butter. Great recipe and instruction video....

    Thank you so much for sharing this delicious recipe of egg tart. Making the crust is so good! I was waiting for the egg whites to beat like a meringue as I see in the other channel. I noticed that we don't need to do it in this kind of egg tart. Thank you so much too to Sir Boris Volko for sharing us a written instructions. Actually I also wrote down Heart's instructions but when I found in the comment section what you shared I was so excited! I wrote down the instructions because is more easy to understand than what I did. God Bless to both of you for your kindness.❤️😊

    This recipe was great! The demonstration of the puff pastry was easy to follow and made it non-intimidating. It was delicious and I think my family will be impressed. I want to add I made a 2nd batch and forgot adding the egg whites and I think the custard turned out more eggy and authentic tasting. So I will save those egg whites to add to my morning omelette from now on!

    A tip for those who said butter ooze out when they roll. When you make the butter dough, do it by hand because that way you can blend them together better. In addition, after wrapping the two like a present, put in freezer for about 5 min. Take out and sprinkle more flour on top. Beat the dough slowly, less forceful and gradually make your way on each side.

    This is the best recipe ever. Just things to point out.... dont think you can sub a vitamix for a food processer... dont use the blender for the butter dough LOL
    Also, I subbed 1/2cup of heavy cream for 1/2 cup of milk and added the 1/2 cup of milk. Its much much heavier and creamier if you are going for that taste.
    THANKS FOR THE RECIPE!

    Just made this today and it didn't quite go as smooth as you made it look but for me, it tastes pretty good. I used one stick of salted butter and 3/4 unsalted due to there being a lot of comments about there not being any salt content. It gave just the right amount of saltiness this way to the dough so I was pretty happy with it. Like another commented, I too had problems with my butter dough being too soft and smushing out during the rolling process. I don't think I used enough flour and so it was just too soft and ruined the rollout process. I had to add a lot more flour to the combined dough and start over. This tampered with the flakiness of the dough but I think using a muffin pan also was the reasoning behind it. It turned out okay with the muffin pan but was smaller than the ones you displayed. I think I'll buy the tart pans you recommended for next time. I'm not sure if I rolled my dough out too thin but I was able to make 12 tarts using my muffin pan and an additional 18cm tart pan. Also I used a tiny bit of extra vanilla sugar I had though I'm not sure it made much of a difference. Thanks for the video and for sharing with us.
