the second batch

the second batch.. wasn't that neatly done..

eat, eat, eat... yummy

eat eat eat... yummmy

the amount of stuff used is crazy..it doesn't look that much in quantity..but at the end of it..we made more than 2 dozen portuguese egg tarts...wild...enough to distribute to your neighbours..haha..

after trying our hands at making this..realized that we should probably avoid eating too much of egg tarts..just look at the ingredients used and it spells calories..haha..

cheers..

You’re welcome :).

You have a very fun site and interesting recipes… although, of course, it’s the personal touch of your personalities that adds that needed filler ;).
