Chinese Egg Custard in Flaky Crust


"Don Tot" is one of my favorite dessert items to get at dim sum and at Chinese bakeries. It's a baked egg custard that is baked in a flaky shell. It's a simple pastry but just so perfect and delicious. Orange Tea House Inc. makes the best don tot in Chinatown, NY. Because they often run out during the day, new batches are always being baked off. The flaky buttery crunchy golden brown shell and eggy creamy smooth custard is best eaten right away when it is still warm.

*Look at that guy in the window. He's enjoying his don tot.
