Bake until blistered(45 min)

Line muffin tin with puff pastry circles. Whisk cream, yolks, sugar, vanilla. Fill pastry shells 3/4 full. Bake at 475°F 12-15 min until custard is puffed and tops have dark caramelized spots — this blistering is the signature of Macau egg tarts.

Pro Tips for Western Kitchens

The blistered caramel spots are the hallmark. If your tarts don't have them, your oven isn't hot enough. Crank it.
