Part 5/8:
The filling is where the magic truly happens. Gold Garden's recipe includes whole eggs, a simple syrup of water and white sugar, and a substantial addition of evaporated milk. The incorporation of evaporated milk lends the filling a creamier texture and adds a hint of caramelized flavor. The mixture is rigorously whisked to create a homogeneous blend, which will ultimately form the heart of the egg tart.
Baking to Perfection: The Transformation
Once the tart shells are filled with the rich custard mixture, they are placed into the oven to bake. The baking process is critical, typically taking about 20 minutes, depending on the oven's temperature and conditions of the day. The process creates a slight dome shape as steam generates within, promising a delightful texture upon cooling.
