Portugese Egg Tarts

It's been a long time since i updated the blog. Well, with of all the end year stuff going on in school, i really had no time to bake or cook much. Last week, i finally had a little time to do what i've always wanted to try,portugese egg tarts.

I found the recipe on Food Whore. Looked really great and so i decided to KIV til i had the time. This is the first time i'm doing pastry so i was pretty nervous. It was a good recipe so it turned out really well and moreover, i used pre-made pastry puff so i kinda 'cheated' a little. I learnt that the thickness of the pastry is really impt cos some of the puffs were too thick at the bottom. Shall definately try again another time!!



I love how ugly they look!! Haha
