Hong Kong Egg Tarts: Dim Sum at Home!

Instructions:

1. Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
2. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together.
4. Shape into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
5. Heat water and sugar in a saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves, creating a simple syrup. Cool completely.
6. Whisk eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla, and salt together.
7. Slowly whisk the cooled syrup into the egg mixture. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps. This ensures a perfect egg tart!
8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
9. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and cut out circles slightly larger than the tart tins.
10. Press the dough into the tart tins, trimming any excess.
11. Pour the custard filling into the tart shells.
12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the centre.
13. Let cool completely before serving these delicious egg tart.
