Comment préparer Portuguese Egg Tarts

**Prepare the Egg Custard:** In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ cup heavy cream until well combined and slightly frothy.
**Add Flavor:** Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
**Rest the Custard:** Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
**Make the Oil Dough:** In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup lard or vegetable shortening, and ¼ cup ice water. Mix until a dough forms.
**Chill the Oil Dough:** Wrap the oil dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
**Make the Dough:** In another bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ cup ice water. Mix to form a dough.
**Encase the Oil Dough:** Roll out the main dough to a 1cm thickness. Place the chilled oil dough in the center, fold the main dough over it, and seal the edges.
**Fold and Chill:** Perform 2 single folds and 2 double folds (similar to a croissant fold). Wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
**Assemble the Tarts:** Roll out the dough to 0.5cm thickness. Cut out circles to fit your tart tins. Press into the tins.
**Fill and Bake:** Pour the chilled egg custard into the tart shells, filling them almost to the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are deeply golden brown and slightly burnt.
**Cool and Enjoy:** Let the tarts cool slightly in the tins before carefully removing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
