Egg Tarts

Egg tarts are a delightful pastry featuring a flaky crust and a silky egg custard filling, perfect for a cozy breakfast. This Kosher version maintains authenticity while ensuring it's suitable for all dietary needs.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 100 grams
• Unsalted margarine - 50 grams
• Powdered sugar - 20 grams
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cold water - 30 ml
• Eggs - 2 large
• Granulated sugar - 50 grams
• Milk - 100 ml
• Vanilla extract - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, unsalted margarine, powdered sugar, and salt. Mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add cold water gradually and mix until the dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
4. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 3 mm thickness. Cut out circles to fit into your tart molds.
5. Press the dough circles into the molds, ensuring even coverage, and prick the bottoms with a fork to prevent puffing.
6. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
7. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared tart shells, filling them about 3/4 full.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the custard is set and the tops are lightly golden.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
