Matcha Portuguese Egg Tarts

Woo, I'm done with internal med. Medicine was a tough two months. I feel like I need 4 holidays before I start school again :P. I did feel pretty fatigued and didn't have time to do anything, but study and go to work. I survived on purple sweet potatoes and granola bars. Seriously, every meal had so much fiber and I hardly drank any water since we had long rounds... can you imagine how my belly felt??!! I did get really burned out (and constipated :\), so it has taken a bit of time to starting blogging again. But in hindsight, I guess I did enjoy medicine. I think that's how I feel about just anything... like baking a 5 layer cake, riding rollercoasters, spending time with my brother haha...
Now I'm on neurology! I'm actually just writing up this post after brain cutting lab. The knives literally looked like cake knives and I thought, wow, I'm making cake brain layers! And then I remembered I owned a blog and should probably update it :/
Growing up in Hong Kong, I ate unlimited egg and Portuguese egg tarts.  Macau is about an hour away and I would eat these tarts all day long. Also, because I couldn't gamble, so all I did was eat :P. I gussied up these tarts with some matcha custard instead and the combination of flaky crust and silky smooth custard is to die for. 
Matcha Portuguese Egg Tarts
adapted from bbcgoodfood
makes 12 tarts

2 Egg yolks
1 Egg
2 Tablespoons Flour
1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
½ Cup Sugar
1½ Teaspoon Matcha powder
1½ Cup Half and half
1 Puff pastry sheet
  1. Whisk egg yolks/egg, sugar, flour, matcha in small pot
  2. Gradually whisk in half and half and vanilla extract until smooth. Put on medium heat and whisk until it it is very warm but not hot (not thick)
  3. Preheat oven to 400F. Thaw 1 sheet of frozen pastry dough for 20mins. Cut in half and stack on top of each other. Should be 12cm in width
  4. Lightly flour surface. Roll up tightly. If it cracks, leave to thaw more
  5. Use a ruler and indent dough every 1cm and you should have 12 slices
  6. Flour surface again and a rolling pin. Roll dough to about 10cm circles
  7. Press into greased muffin tin. Pour runny custard into it (I strained the custard to get rid of lumps and to make it super smooth). Bake for 12-15mins or until pastry is golden and some burnt sugar spots appear
  8. Cool in pan and transfer to wire rack. Serve warm or cold. Can keep in fridge for few days.

  3. It can be made with any matcha powder! As long as it doesn't have added sugars/milk powders as it would change the taste a little.

  5. I just love this food. This post has reminded me of one of the funny moments of my life. It was the final year of my master and I wanted to know about Information Technology Essay writing service. I started searching for a reliable online source and by chance came across the screamers’ pizza advertisement. I forgot what I was doing and just ordered the pizza. It was the first time when I ate vegan food and I became a fan of it.

  10. Medicine was a challenging yet enjoyable experience for me, but I found myself burned out and constipated at the end of it. In order to find a way to continue my studies without sacrificing my health, I decided to look into taking courses online. Doing so allowed me to learn more about medical topics without having to leave the comfort of my home, and I was able to find an online course that fit my needs perfectly. Taking do my course online not only allowed me to continue learning about medicine, but it also gave me the flexibility and freedom that I needed in order to stay healthy and balanced.
