Portuguese Egg Tarts

 Tested this recipe for an evening tea…. I was looking for a recipe which does not use heavy cream because I didn’t have that in hand and found this one. The verdict…. sweet filling and nicely matched with the flaky pastry…. In comparison, cream-based filling is creamier and smoother in texture. Overall it is not bad at all but the filling gives you slightly different texture which is light & spongy.

Recipe below has been adjusted for half portion and retyped for my own reference
Yields: 12 cups
INGREDIENTS:
1½ tbsp Cornstarch
½ tsp Vanilla Essence
½ cup Sugar (can reduce a bit)
½ cup Milk
3 Egg Yolks
1 pc 8”x8” Frozen Puff Pastry

METHOD:
1. In a saucepan, combine milk, cornstarch, sugar and vanilla. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens.
2. Place egg yolks in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk 1/2 cup of hot milk mixture into egg yolks.
Gradually add egg yolk mixture back to remaining milk mixture, whisking constantly.
Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
3. Roll puff pastry until about 10”x10”. Roll and then cut into 12 pieces.
Flatten each piece, the cut side up and place into a greased muffin tin.

4. Fill pastry with mixture and bake in preheated oven 190C for 20 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and filling is lightly browned on top.

 Tentu ramai yg suka beli Portuguese Egg Tart kat bakery kan. Kalau rajin boleh lah cuba buat sendiri…. Sekejap jer dah siap buat ni sebab anda cuma perlu sediakan filling custard dan bakar – kulit pastry tu banyak di jual sejuk-beku di supermarket. Jimat masa dan wang dan dapat makan lebih…. hehee. Jika ada tetamu pun sesuai sangat dapat di hidangkan panas2 tentu tetamu and teruja.

Juicing for Health


Drink a glass of freshly squeezed vegetables and fruits for health and revitalisation. You can juice any vegetable, be it carrot, cucumber, celery, turnip, spinach, bitter gourd, bottle gourd, tomato, or beet. Just ensure to wash the vegetables thoroughly before juicing. Also, cut the vegetable into small pieces to easily extract the juice.

I like mixing whatever vegetables I have in the fridge... Avoid adding too much fruits as it contain sugar... therefore green apples are preferred over the red ones.


I'm using a coarse filter so that I could get some fibres in the drinks:


Buy juicing machine which squeezing instead of blending to avoid oxidisation.You don't have to buy expensive brand... mine is a local brand but equally good and most of all I still get good quality juice....! It is all pure juice without having to add water at all.
