butter

Water dough: 250 g plain flour

salt

g ice water

Filling: 5 eggs(Egg filling can be substituted with cheese filling

ml milk

water

sugar

egg tart molds

Make oil dough.
 Cut the chilled butter into small pieces
 Put the butter and flour in an electric food processor.
Use the pulse function to mix them until it forms bridges and strands
Remove it from the food processor, scoop out the oil dough with a metal spoon and place it on the water dough
Wrap it in cling film, place it in chiller for 20min or until it becomes firm.    

| You can use puff pastry sheets for the tart shells
| To make oily dough, you can also use your fingers to rub in the butter if you do not have a food processor


Make water dough.
Put the plain flour, egg and ice water in the electric food processor
Mix them until they combine and form a ball
Wrap it in cling film, place it in chiller for 20mins or until it becomes firm.    



Roll out pastry.
Sprinkle some plain flour on table top
Remove the cling film from the water dough, flatten the water dough to form a large square
Place the oil dough in the center and fold the sides of the water dough over the oil dough. Make sure the water dough is fully covered by the oil dough.  Flatten it with rolling pin. 
Wrap it in cling film and leave it in the chiller for 20mins or until it hardens.
Remove from chiller, flatten it with rolling pin to about 3cm thick. Fold both ends of the dough toward the center like closing a book.  Place it into the chiller again for 20mins. (If the dough is not wide enough, you can use the tri-fold method – fold 1/3 of the dough towards the right, and the remaining 1/3 towards the left).
Repeat the folding process for 3 more times
After the last repetition, flatten the dough to about 3mm thickness.  Use a cookie cutter to cut out pieces of round pastry which are slightly larger than the area of the mold.
Put the cut pastry into a mold. Lightly press the pastry onto the surface of the mold. Pierce few holes in the bottom with a fork.
Trim the sides with a fork or a blunt knife.
