• When your tart dough is ready, cut 12 equal portions and form a pastry ball. Flatten each pastry ball on a flour and place each dough on a prepared tart moulds. Press dough in the mould by circular motion, using your thumbs then tidy up the edges with your index fingers. The edges should be slightly higher than the tin cause when you bake it will shrink a bit. Arrange the tart moulds with pastry dough on a tray.

• Pour custard filling into tart molds 3/4’s  full and bake immediately in a preheated oven at 300°F for about 15 to 20 minutes. Egg Tarts are done when your toothpick inserted comes out clean. Transfer in a cooling rack and let it cool before you take off from molds to prevent crust from breaking.
