Then add the corn starch, glutinous rice flour, milk powder and mix well for another 2 minutes. Take off the heat and leave to cool. Divide into 8 parts (48g each). Grease the mold with butter so it is easier to unmold later.
  • After chilling, divide the dough to 8-9 portions and press to the base of the tart molds. Use a folk to make holes so the steam can escape. It helps keep the tart crispy and cook evenly. Preheat oven 180C/375F.
  • Brush on the tarts and sprinkle roasted sesame on top. If there is extra pastry left You can cut into strips and weave on top of the tartlets. Bake 20-25 mins at 180C till golden brown.
