Smooth and Flaky Egg Tarts

 
The tarts are soft, smooth and moist, the crust is flaky and crunchy  Yummm......

My tart moulds are quite small, that make me egg tarts quite small.  2 bites the egg tart is gone!

I have made egg tarts before using recipe from books.  Its turns out nice and delicious too.

A recent  charity cooking demonstration by Chef Margarent Cheng at Spastic Centre, Petaling Jaya on egg tarts again.

That prompt me to make egg tarts again with her recipe for my family again.

The verdict,  all thumbs up from family members.  Special thank you Chef Margaret Cheng for sharing the recipe.
