Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 3 large Eggs
• 100 milliliters Low-fat milk
• 50 grams White sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 6-cup muffin tin lightly with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

To prepare the pastry, sift the all-purpose flour into a large bowl.

Step 3

Dice the unsalted butter into small cubes and add them to the flour. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, mix until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Add the cold water to the mixture, stir with a fork until the dough just comes together, then knead it lightly on a floured surface.

Step 5

Roll the dough into a log and divide it into 6 equal portions. Press each portion into the prepared muffin tin, covering the bottom and sides to form pastry shells.

Step 6

To prepare the custard, crack the eggs into a medium bowl, and whisk in the white sugar until completely dissolved.

Step 7

Gradually add the low-fat milk and vanilla extract while continuing to whisk, creating a smooth and even mixture.

Step 8

Strain the egg mixture through a sieve to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth custard.

Step 9

Carefully pour the custard mixture into each pastry shell until they are about 80% full.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.

Step 11

Remove the egg tarts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your low sodium classic egg tarts!
