[…] I used the same Betty Crocker Pie Crust Mix that I had used for the Portuguese Egg Tarts (because I liked the flaky texture and not too buttery taste of this pie crust mix) and made this pie crust in the same way as the tarts. I did read about Pillsbury Pie Shells being used in some Chicken Pie Recipes, but those require a 9 inch diameter pie pan and I didn’t have that. […]

Oooh, looks like my oven is super hot compared to yours and Budding Cook. One thing I notice about my oven is that things get brown very fast. In fact, I just tossed away a lot of burnt peanut butter cookies…:(

Hi Budding Cook, the result of my second time baking the tarts was even better. I had them in the oven for 25 mins (instead of the stated 15-20 mins) and they looked even more brown. And I realized that sifting the egg mixture makes the tarts look nicer becos sifting eliminates the bubbles created by the whisking of the egg mixture.

Sue - I sometimes get ads on Amnesia and Tax Cuts!

DF - It’s a real Google Ad!

KM - I was thinking of making chicken pie with the same crust, but not sure if it’s OK to just make a round dough top as the cover!

MW - Haha! Thanks! That’s why I need idiot-proof recipes!

Maybe I shall put savoury fillings for it too if I make extra crust :-)

Oh, I thought that was a real ad. Your dishes look too yummy to able to eat them and lose 40 lbs in 2 months.

I often get those ads too and I was wondering what kind of websites they would be. Because I am not allow to click on ads on my page as you know. Thanks for resolving my curiosity. ;)
Your egg tarts look so well baked with golden crispy edges.

RM - No trashing no trashing. The tarts were delicious and your instructions and ingredient measurements were idiot-proof!

Tiga! Sometimes I use QA as an excuse to eat more :p
