Macau-Inspired Egg Tarts. This is a delicious recipe for the Macau Po Egg Tart, a famous Portuguese style egg tart pastry from Macau. These egg tarts come from the original Portuguese Pastéis de Nata recipe and are quite similar, with a twist. They are unbelievably delicious and sweet with a great crispy texture on top.

They were absolutely flying off the shelves! Make sure to roll the pastry as thinly as possible, bake until golden and eat whilst. On a lightly floured surface, trim the ends of the dough to make sure they're even, then cut the log into thirty ½-inch slices. You can have Macau-Inspired Egg Tarts using 4 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook that.

Macau-Inspired Egg Tarts instructions

Roll the puff pastry sheet out as thinly as you can and fit it into the muffin tray mould (it'll be easier if you cut the pastry with a 10 cm cookie cutter, then fit it into the mould). You don't have to stretch the pastry so it peeps out of the mould..
Cover the pastry in parchment paper and pie weights and bake on the top shelf of your oven for 15 minutes at 200℃..
Add the milk and sugar to a saucepan and heat. When the mixture starts to bubble, continue to stir it for about 15 minutes or until the mixture has reduced to half its original size..
When the mixture has cooled, add in the egg yolks and vanilla essence and mix. Then strain the mixture..
Pour an even portion of the egg mixture into each of the tart crusts from Step 2. The mixture may seem to be a bit hard, but don't worry. Bake on the top shelf of the oven at 230℃ for 12-13 minutes until golden brown..
The egg tarts that I ate in Macau had a nice crispy pastry but tasted of cheap oil, which was a shame!.
