Making egg tarts is so daunting. Thank you for breaking it down. Can the pastry be used for curry puffs?

In reply to Stella. Hi stella, I'm afraid not because condensed milk works very differently from evaporated milk.

Can I swap the evaporated milk for condensed milk, and if so, do I use the same amount while removing sugar?

In reply to Ann. I'm sure you can! I have not tried it myself, but matcha powder should work really well with them.

Could I add matcha to this recipe, to make matcha egg tarts?

Great recipe! Delicious flaky crust and very mild filling. I realized my shortening had gone bad, so I substituted it with roughly 60%/40% coconut oil and butter. Turned out great.

Wowzers, I am a newbie at baking but I attempted your recipe and it was Amazeballs! You propelled me to rockstar status with my family! Thank you so much. PS, I also tried your turnip cake recipe! Brilliant results.

In reply to Mimi Wan. Mimi, the pastries are similar, but are NOT the same. The Portuguese tarts are purposely burnt on top and do not taste the same as the supple HK egg tarts.

In reply to Max. You should always follow the grams because it's more precise. I had to round up the number when converting it to cups and tablespoons otherwise it's gonna be very difficult to measure.

Hi, the grams and volume measurements on the filling don’t match up. For example 3/4 Cups and 3tbsp water is not 200g. Which is the correct measurement?
