Egg tarts are a fovoured Asian 'dimsum' that originated from Hong Kong. Nowadays you can find it almost everywhere in Malaysia and Singapore. There are two versions of the egg tart: the one with flaky crust (also known as Portuguese egg tarts), and the one with cookie-like crust, as featured above and also my favourite.

Be careful when baking as the egg custard burns easily. Check the colour while baking- it should be done when the custard becomes yellow.
