Chocolate Tarts





Ingredients
200 g butter
50 g confectioners' sugar (original request, I reduced to 40g)
40 g powdered milk (I dont have this, so used creamer powder instead)
280 g flour, low gluten or all purpose (mixture of 110g low protein with 170g of all purpose)
20 g cornflour
2 egg yolks

Lots of chocolate balls
Another 2 egg yolks with 1tbsp of milk to glaze


Steps:
1. Sieve the flour and cornflour first, leave aside.
2. Cream the butter and sugar till white and fluffy.
3. Slowly add on the egg yolk, one at a time (that's two only, not four).
4. While mixing, slowly fold in a little by little of the flour mixture.
5. Once down, use the hand to pinch out (I use the weighing scale for this, 10g for small chocolate balls and 15g for bigger ones) the dough and flatten it, wrapped the chocolate balls in it.
6. Pre heat oven at 150 degree celcius for bout 10mins.
7. Greased the baking tray with butter and flour.
8. Placed the shaped balls on the tray, with approximately 1" distance for each.
9. Glazed the dough before baking. 
10. Bake for 15mins at 150 degree. I open up every 5mins to glazed again.. :P
