STEEMIT CULINARY CHALLENGE # 30: Cute mini pumpkin tart

Hi steemians,

It s the tart week! I was so excited about the tart challenge and could not choose which one shall i bake... sweet or savoury ?

So my girls decided for me, cute little pumpkin tart for lunch box.... hmm....
Note: I have reduced the sugar in this recipe and find it works well, you may use standard one for the better results.

50g egg
5-10ml milk

Method

for the crusts, mix all ingredients together, when you can not find any excess ingredients on the side of bowl, stop! do not over knead the dough, it might reduce the crust layers.
