HONG KONG-STYLE EGG WAFFLE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, custard powder, and tapioca starch. Set aside.
• Set up a double boiler over medium heat. Add the eggs and sugar to the top bowl, whisking vigorously until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Add the water and evaporated milk to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
• Slowly add the dry ingredients to egg mixture and mix until well combined.
• Stir in the vanilla and vegetable oil.
• Pour the batter through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl to catch any lumps.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
• Transfer the batter to a spouted liquid measuring cup for easy pouring.
• Set an egg waffle machine and set to 400°F (200°C). Grease lightly with oil. Add about 1 cup of batter to the machine and cook for 2½ minutes, until crispy and slightly brown. Using a rubber spatula, transfer the waffle to a wire rack to cool slightly. To achieve a round shape, lay the waffle over a curved surface, such as a rolling pin, to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Serve when the shell has cooled and become crisp, but is still slightly warm.
• Enjoy!

HONG KONG STYLE EGG TARTS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• For the pastry, in a large bowl, sift flour, sugar, and salt. Then add softened butter. Bring the mixture together with your hands, careful not to knead the pastry dough too much or you will make the pastry tough.
• Whisk the egg yolks and add the 2 tablespoons of beaten yolk to the flour mixture. Bring together until smooth. If the dough is too sticky, coating your hands with flour will help. Cover with plastic wrap and then refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until the dough is firm.
• To make the custard filling, melt sugar and salt with hot water. Mix until dissolved then let cool.
• Add the rest of the beaten egg yolk. Stir in sugar water and also evaporated milk (if adding vanilla, add now). Stir and combine everything well.
• Strain the filling to ensure no lumps. Chill in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C.)
• Take the dough out and divide into 16 equal portions. Spray the tart pan with a light coating of oil. Take one portion of your dough and roll it into a ball and place in your tart shell. Press the shell into the pan with your fingers. Try to make the wrapper uniform in thickness and avoid a thick bottom. Repeat to finish all.
• Pour the custard filling into the shells until it is about 80% full. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the surface becomes golden brown and a toothpick can stand in the egg tart.
• Cool down for several minutes and then take the egg tarts out of the pan. Serve while still warm.
• Enjoy!
