2. Add in the eggs and mix or pulse just until a dough is formed. If mixing by hand, work the eggs into the flour mixture using your fingers until the dough starts to develop.
3. Transfer the tart pastry dough onto a lightly floured work surface and form it into a ball. Slightly flatten the pastry dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
4. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and transfer it onto a lightly dusted work surface.
5. Roll out the dough using a rolling pin, dusting the top with flour to prevent the dough from sticking to about 4mm thickness.
6. Use a 2 1/2 or 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut out the dough discs.
7. Place the pastry dough discs into the greased tart cups and press gently downwards and through the sides of the tart mold. Trim off any excess dough at the rim. You can also use a muffin pan if you don’t have individual molds.
8. Poke the bottom of the pastry dough in the tart cup and bake at 356°F or 180°C and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden light brown.
9. Cool with pastry shell in the tart mold and set aside.
