Thank you Aunty Yochana for sharing this recipe!

I love egg tarts ever since I was a kid.  It brings back a lot of memories.
I haven't met a kid who doesn't love egg tarts.

Ingredients:

Egg tart crust:

125 gm. cold butter 
60 gm. icing sugar
1/2 egg white
1 egg yolk
200 gm. plain flour or cake flour
1/2 tsp. vanilla essence

Egg Custard:

280 gm. fresh milk
160 gm. sugar
3 nos. eggs
1 tsp. rum (omitted)
1/2 tsp. vanilla essence

Method:

(1) For pate sucree: beat butter and icing sugar till wellmixed.
(2) Add in white and yolk and mix.
(3) Add in vanilla essence and then the flour and mix into a dough. Rest for 10 mins. Press dough into small tart moulds. Then use a fork to poke holes in the middle of the dough 3-4 times.
(4) Bake the tart shell till half-cooked. *once it turns white.
(5) For egg custard, heat sugar and milk together. Once sugar dissolves, off heat.
(6) Whisk eggs and pour into the milk mixture. Do not whisk till frothy.
(7) Add in rum and vanilla essece.
(8) Sift the egg custard,use a napkin to remove any leftover bubbles,pour into tart moulds,and bake at 350 degrees till egg custard sets.

Note:
Half baked should be around 10 mins at 350 degrees. I didn't put the timing cos everybody's oven is different. Judge yourself and see that it's like puff up slightly and turned white.
