Recipe: Chinese Style Egg Tarts

I had been craving for egg tarts and was going to buy some at the Asian supermarket near my home. I saw that it wasn't on sale and felt that it was too expensive and decided not to buy them. It costed $6.99 for half a dozen. Then I remembered I had a recipe that one of the seniors at the Community Center gave me. I decided to try homemade tarts instead and it only costed me just less than $0.20 each.

OK, first time I made it was a little bit lumpy (due to the egg whites). Then a friend recommended me to try putting the mixture through a sifter to remove any clumping. That's a good tip.

More tips: To make sure it is cooked through, put a toothpick in the custard and it shouldn't fall over. If it is still "jiggly", bake it for another 5 minutes at a lower temperature to prevent the sides from burning.
