Ingredients

• 200 g all-purpose flour
• 100 g butter
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp iced water
• 6 eggs
• 2 egg whites
• 30 g protein powder
• 200 ml milk
• 120 g sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine 200g of all-purpose flour and 0.25 tsp of salt. Add 100g of chilled, diced butter.

Step 3

Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Add 2 tbsp of iced water and mix until the dough comes together. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Lightly flour your work surface. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 3mm and cut into circles large enough to line your tart tins.

Step 6

Gently press the dough circles into the tart tins, trimming any excess. Prick the bases with a fork.

Step 7

Blind bake the tart shells for 10 minutes using pie weights or dried beans to prevent puffing. Remove the weights and bake for another 5 minutes. Let them cool.

Step 8

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 6 eggs, 2 egg whites, 30g of protein powder, 120g of sugar, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and 200ml of milk until smooth.

Step 9

Strain the egg mixture into a jug to ensure a silky texture.

Step 10

Pour the egg mixture into the cooled tart shells evenly.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the filling is set and slightly golden.

Step 12

Allow the egg tarts to cool to room temperature before serving.
