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?

In reply to Jase. I used a vegetable shortening.

In reply to Angel. You can. It will be a little denser but still tasty.

Hi ! Thanks for the recipe! What do you do with the left over dough? can you re-fold it and make more crusts?

In reply to Audrey Lee. You could try it but the ratio will be affected since butter contains water. The recipe should still work.

Hi, for the oil dough, can I replace the shortening with butter, as I don’t want to use shortening

In reply to Robin LeFey.

Hi Robin, I’m so sorry that I included the wrong tart mold link by mistake. The Inches in their description was wrong after I double checked with the mm measurement in their picture.
My tart mold is: Scantily over 2″ on the base, 2.9-3″ top for the inner edge, and 3.3″ top for the out edge
I bought mine from a store and I found out later that all the egg tart molds on Amazon are slightly different…
The one that is similar to mine: https://amzn.to/3e0Trtf (Top Diameter – 3 3/8 Inches)
