[@hungcarl]

the Egg Tarts in the video are from Hong Kong. it was influenced by Britain. not Portugul. The tarts in Macau are influenced by Portuguese Custard Tarts (Pasteis de Nata). completely different style.

[@hellojiny8935]

[@adventurousbaker5085]

[@Starblaster6840]

How long do you put the dough in the fridge for to chill after rolling it out and folding?

[@stevenmargaretng8813]

请问为什么我做出来的蛋挞， 蛋的部分是皱皱的？

[@markmoore999]

Can I ask what the recepie is for the egg custard please

[@NSChu-pe4ri]

Can I make and keep the skin a day before baking?

[@adventurousbaker5085]

Yes just cover it with cling wrap and refrigerate.

[@angelaly7396]

My water dough burst. Can I still carry on with process?

[@ramunarahman3478]

Hi, may i know temperature when u are baking the tarts?

[@ziqisoh3852]

hello, do i need to put the water dough in the frigde after kneeding? And so i need to put the dough in the fridge after every fold of when i fini shed folding?

[@adventurousbaker5085]

Yes, it's best to put the dough back in the fridge after every fold to make sure the oil dough does not melt into the water dough. I recommend putting the water dough in the fridge after kneading as well for the same reason.

[@HH-rw5od]

The egg turns brown after oven…. and the dough does not rise.. what am I doing wrong…

[@NSChu-pe4ri]

May I know after rolling a few time, must we keep it in the fridge?

[@adventurousbaker5085]

Yes, it needs to be put back in the fridge to keep the pastry cold enough so that the butter doesn't melt into the water dough. You need the separate layers of water and oil dough in order for it to puff properly when baked.

[@lilyleung2237]

Has anyone made these? How did it come out?

[@MsDavidliu]

I tried it and they turned out pretty well. Overall process wasn't that difficult but I just had to wait quite a while for the pastry to chill after every fold because it was a warmer day for me

[@lilyleung2237]

I have tried so many and have not found the right one yet. Is this the keeper recipe for you? I hate wasting time and money nowadays.

[@MsDavidliu]

@@lilyleung2237 that might be hard to answer, because it's going to depend on what style you like. In bakeries, egg tarts are all made with lard and shortening, and then the buttery flavor is from artificial flavors. The result is a very soft tart shell and the entire thing being pretty aromatic. This recipe uses half lard and half butter, and in general the butter hardens the shell a bit more than if it's all lard, but the butter is sort of needed for the aroma. So, custard is very good, shell is very flaky, but a bit more crisp than bakeries. Hope this help

[@lilyleung2237]

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer.
