Ingredients

Shells

300g frozen butter - cubed - i used SCS unsalted

500g flour

pinch of salt

2 tbsp sugar

3 egg yolks

Egg custard

300ml condensed milk

400ml warm water

8 egg yolks - whisk a little with a fork

30g custard flour

1 tsp milk vanilla - i used vanilla essence

Method

Get ur mould ready - preheat oven 160C

Measure the flour and pour into a food processor with the regular blade attached. Add the unsalted butter, cut into cubes (Your butter should be frozen or very cold). Add salt and sugar. Pulse three times with three counts per pulse to lightly mix the ingredients.

With the motor running, pour egg yolks into the processor bowl just until the dough just starts to get noticeably crumbly. Don't wait until it is a big clump or it will be way too wet and will turn out tough.

Stop the machine, dump the crumbly dough into a bowl, and gather the dough into a ball with your hand. you can squeeze it a bit to make it stick together.

Roll out dough.. with a round cutter, cut out a few pcs.. press it into small tart moulds.. let it rest in ur fridge while u prepare ur egg custard

As for the egg custard.. Whisk condensed milk and warm water - put aside.

Whisk eggs lightly and pour into the milk mixture and whisk again. Do not whisk till frothy.

Add in vanilla essence and lastly add in custard powder.

Sift the egg custard mixture and pour into tart moulds.

Bake at 160C for 45 mins or till egg custard sets... once baked.. let it sit for 10mins bef u take it out

Please take note that i did 1 and a 1/2 recipes for egg custard as I prefer a thin crust and needed more filling..
