Pastry Shell
- Roll out the pastry to a large rectangle. Roll it up starting from the short end. Cut into 12 equal sized pieces. Roll each piece into a circle about 8cm diameter and pressing it into the egg tart mold (top diameter 7cm) and shaping the rim of the dough around the mold so the pastry will hold that delicious custard securely while baking.
- Pour the custard mixture into each hole to about 3/4 way up.
