Notes

Cooking tips for how to make Chinese Hong Kong style egg tarts:

Tasty egg tarts should have a thin crust, but do not make the crust too thin because it will break easily. Therefore, a skill is required to knead a dough into the tart molder.
Boil water and add sugar until it melt and set it aside to cool down. Then, beat eggs and use a strainer to remove the bubbles. And, add to the sugar water. Make sure the sugar water is completely cool off before pouring the beaten eggs
pour the filling mixture to tart crust molder and remember to leave some spaces not all the way full.
This recipe can yield around 18-20 egg tarts. If you have lots of egg filling left, (because of thicker crust), I recommend repeating the dough steps to make more dough.
