It has a flakey, buttery, puff pastry crust and a slightly sweet egg custard filling. • ~~RECIPE~~ • DOUGH: • *Butter dough: • 1 cup all-purpose flour • 1 3/4 stick (which also equals 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp) cold, unsalted butter • *Water dough: • 1 cup all-purpose flour • 2 egg yolks (save the egg whites for the filling!) • 1/4 cup cold water • FILLING: • *Simple syrup: • 1/3 cup sugar • 1/2 cup water • *Egg custard: • 3 large eggs + reserved egg whites from earlier • 1 cup milk • 1 tsp vanilla extract • OTHER INFORMATION: • *Puff pastry method: 3x4x4 • *Oven temperature: 400°F for approx. 25-30 min (time will vary--cook until crust is light golden brown!) • *This recipe yields approx. 12-14 tarts • *Store the egg tarts in the refrigerator best to eat while HOT! re-heat at 400°F for 5-7 minutes! • *Tart mold and cookie cutter is 3 diameter • *Individual tart molds were purchased at Bed Bath Beyond for 0.79 each! • • • I originally learned this recipe from http://tinyurl.com/o7g4dck.
