Mini Egg Tarts

This is my first attempt at Mini Egg Tarts!

Egg tarts have always been one of my favourite snacks and since it didn't seem that difficult to bake, I gave it a try! I must say that it's pretty simple to prepare, though time consuming. 

I spent about 15 bucks for this project that takes 2 hours.

I used two tart moulds: the disposable ones I used in the Mini Fruit Tarts and even tinier ones Phoon Huat.

(5.90 for 12 mini reusable moulds!)

As this recipe's blog post was cranky, here's a repost. 

Mini Egg Tarts Recipe (Yields about 40 mini egg tarts)

Ingredients:

PASTRY

180g unsalted butter (I used butter and it was still as good!)

70g icing sugar

(I couldn't find mine so I used castor sugar, in which when you 

bite into the pastry, you can taste the grains of sugar)

340g plain flour

16g evaporated milk (I like Carnation's!)

CUSTARD

160g eggs

65g castor sugar

50g evaporated milk

210g water

Kueh Lapis Legit

Kueh Lapis Legit.. one of my absolute favourites that has been on my to-bake list for eons! It's a tough cake to bake though as it's really time consuming and you need all 3 hours of it! Once you've started baking, you're basically camping in front of the oven watching this darling delicate kueh/cake work wonders! 

This recipe is from Richard Goh and I'm an absolute fan of his. It's just a pity that school's starting soon and I won't be able to attend his classes any time soon. In any case, this recipe takes 3 full hours (sometimes more) to bake and it yields a 25cm by 25cm Kueh Lapis Legit! (:

Breakfast Cups

These Breakfast Cups are just so awesome to eat just because it's got eggs that's semi-cooked the way I love it! I also have these for tea as they're just so good. This is one of my personal favourites for a quick meal fix! They take merely 30 mins or less to prepare and cook and tastes just too good to be true.

Happy Call Pan Preserved Radish Egg

I LOVE eggs, especially preserved radish egg, or what we'd call Cai Por Nerng. This is one of those dish I can eat alone with plain rice and be contented! Using the Happy Call Pan, I created this Happy Call Pan Preserved Radish Egg. It took 15 minutes to prepare and cook this dish and it yields an omelet the size of a Deeper Happy Call Pan.

Rainbow Cupcakes!

I just had my 3 consecutive days of examination and my hands itched to bake so much!

This is my 2nd trial with rainbow cakes/cupcakes.

I bought my WILTON gel colours when I went to JB so I baked some Rainbow Cupcakes with them today! This entire project took about an hour and yields 9 cupcakes.

Recipe adapted from Cupcake Creations.

Sticky Chewy Chocolatey Brownies

I was feeling really random and stressed out so I decided to bake some brownies.

These were supposed to be Happy Call Pan brownies but they didn't turn out well after 20 mins..

The bottom was burnt and the top all liquidish, most probably because my small fire wasn't small enough..

Nevertheless, I poured the remaining batter into the greased pan to prevent wastage.

Presenting my Sticky Chewy Chocolatey Brownies!

Delightful snack that's 'oh-so-chewy'! 

It took me about 30 minutes to prepare and another 40 minutes to bake.

This was adapted from Brooke's Best Bombshell Brownie.

This was my first trial of Happy Call Pan Fish Paste Egg Roll after being inspired by Wokkingmum Elaine.

This was moist, relatively easy to cook and tasty! (:

This dish is also relatively cheap to prepare: $4 or under and it took me 30 minutes in all.
