Portugese Egg Tart

Welcome 2013 and wishing all a happy new year with hope that 2013 will bring happiness, prosperity and good tidings to all.

One of my favourite dessert is the famous Macau egg tart aka portuguese egg tart. Since today is a public holiday, I took this opportunity to bake some for tea. This is a very easy dessert to bake especially if you use ready made pastry.

For the egg tart, I used Kawan ready made puff pastry that is easily available in supermarkets. For the custard filling, you just need the following ingredients:

1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup whipping cream
3 tbsp caster sugar
1 tbsp corn flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 egg yolks
Pinch of salt

Method:
1. Combine milk and whipping cream with 1tbsp sugar and heat them in a pot under slow fire.
2. Mix throughly the balance of the sugar, corn flour, egg yolks, vanilla extract and salt together in a separate bowl.
3. Once milk mixture comes to a boil add half to the egg mixture and mix together and add to the pot of milk. Stir until it becomes a custard. Set aside to cool.
4. Heat oven to 175C.
5. Place the pastry puff in muffin tray that have been greased and fill the pastry with the custard , 3/4 full.
6. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
7. Serve the egg tart once cool.

Enjoy!

Last cake for 2012 - Angry Bird

Time flies and we are just few hours away from 2013. 2012 was an unforgettable year with many moments that not only cheers me up and offer my thanks to the Almighty but also events that shapes me and make me ponder about life in particular. One thing for sure, perseverance wins and I hope that 2013 will be a much better year for me and my family. I do also hope that 2013 will be "the year" where my dream will finally come true. :)

Before we celebrate the new year, I would like to offer my deepest thank you to all my friends/clients for supporting me. Who would have thought that my "accidental cake making" had gone this far and its going stronger by the day. The experience and knowledge that I have gained throughout this journey would not have been possible without you guys supporting me. Thank you again for making the impossible,  possible. Now, if only I can make "the other dream" possible?. Hmm...only time will tell. Cross my fingers and pray to God for the "door" to open up in 2013 :). Last but not least, let me share with you the last decorated cake for 2012 that I did for a lil girl - the much loved game in 2012 - Angry Bird. Happy New Year and see you in 2013.
