Mini Matcha Egg Tarts 迷你抹茶蛋挞 Recipe
Here is another egg tart recipe but with matcha flavour. I've even added a teaspoon of matcha powder into the tart pastry and a teaspoon to the custard to intensify the matcha fragrance. Not only does the addition of matcha powder enhances the fragrance and taste of the smooth custard, it gives a nice green colour to the little tart as well. This is very suitable to serve as a snack for the family or for a party.
