Egg custard tarts, also known as dan tat, are a popular sweet dim sum item that originated in Hong Kong. These delectable tarts consist of a flaky pastry crust filled with a smooth and creamy egg custard. The custard is made from a mixture of eggs, sugar, milk, and sometimes a hint of vanilla or almond extract for added flavor. The tarts are baked until the custard is set and the pastry turns golden brown. The contrast between the buttery and crisp crust and the silky and sweet custard filling is simply irresistible. Egg custard tarts are often enjoyed as a dessert or as a sweet treat with a cup of tea. Their delicate and indulgent nature makes them a must-have for any dim sum lover with a sweet tooth.
