Ingredients

  • 1 Oven (one with an adjustable top and bottom heat setting is best, but not required)
  • 1 Pair of Heat-resistant Gloves
  • 1 Box Ready-made Egg Tart Liquid, 1 Box of Egg Tart Shells (Can also be found at large supermarkets nearby, such as Carrefour, Walmart, etc.)

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees for 10 minutes.
  2. Place egg tart shells on a baking tray. Pour about 10ml of egg tart liquid into each shell. The specific amount depends on the size of the shell; usually, filling it 4/5 full is best.
  3. Place the baking tray into the oven. Use the top and bottom heat setting at 190 degrees. Bake for 10-20 minutes. If you want to quickly achieve the browning spots on the surface of the liquid, you need to increase the top heat a bit more, usually to 200-210 degrees.
  4. The egg tart liquid should have browning spots, and the egg tart shell should be puffed up and dripping with oil.

Notes

This dessert utilizes ready-made egg tart shells and liquid. With a crispy, fragrant crust and a smooth filling topped with caramelized spots, it is the easiest version of a classic Cantonese pastry. The main ingredients, eggs and milk, provide quality protein and calcium, making it suitable as a small home snack. The entire process only requires assembly and baking, which is very friendly to absolute beginners. From preheating the oven to taking it out, it takes about 40 minutes.
