Ah, i tried your recipe. sorry but I really don't like how the crust turned out.. it's not fluffy, instead it's kinda hard, kinda taste like a biscuit :S

@luckystar225 the pastry you are talking about is puff pastry. :)

Hi ! (>.<)

Thanks for posting this dessert! I'm from belgium and we normally buy these little tarts in the chinatown of Antwerp.. now I can make it too !! (^.^) Well.. I hope that it will turn OK... (-_-)

Anyway, thanks alot!!! xxx

can i replace the butter with shortening?

[DessertzHouse]

@mkhoowm i am not too sure...

100g butter = 6 table spoons

200g plain flour = 2 cups

50g sugar = 4 table spoons

100ml water = 6 table spoons

80g sugar = 6 table spoons

100ml milk = 6 table spoons

this the best i can do. it may not be 100% but 90% - 99%:)

also this may help on Converting

@stormonix I don't know what you are saying but this is egg tart, it is different to pastel de nata (portuguese tart) :)

@JOANNEeeM you can get them in most good kitchen stores , also if there is any Asian kitchen/hardware stores. look in your local chinatown :D also you don't have to have those tins a any small tins of that sizes would work , cup cake tin :D
