Egg tarts

Egg tarts

　　Egg tart (EggTart), where "tart" is the transliteration of the English word "tart," referring to a pie with exposed filling (as opposed to a "pie," where the filling is enclosed by the pastry crust). An egg tart is thus a "tart" filled with egg custard. The method involves placing the pastry dough into small, bowl-shaped molds, pouring in a mixture of sugar and eggs, and then baking it in an oven; the resulting egg tart has a crispy outer pastry shell and a sweet, golden, solidified egg custard filling on the inside.
