3. Press dough into egg tart molds. Edges should be slightly higher than the tin.
4. Once sugar water is cooled, whisk in milk and eggs. Sift the mixture, then pour into tarts. Fill each tart about 80% full.
5. Bake at 200°C (approx. 400°F) on the middle rack for 15 to 20 minutes. Stick a toothpick in the center of the tart to check for doneness. When toothpick stands up on its own, they are ready. Let tarts cool before removing from molds.
