Not wasting more time on chatting, Lu Xinyi and Han Yixin started finishing the last dessert to be presented for this cooking battle.
Han Yixin prepared the ingredients to make her sweet-tart pastry. For the last round, she decided to make Sweet Mandarin Orange Tarts in bite sizes. She sifted the flour and icing sugar into a bowl and added cold butter before rubbing it with her fingertips until the mixture became sandy.
Next, she added in ice water and kneaded the mixture to form the dough, keeping in mind to add a little more ice water once she felt the dough was too dry to her preference. Once satisfied, she shaped it into a ball and wrapped it with foil before storing in the freezer for about ten minutes.
Ten minutes had passed; the dough for her tart was ready. Han Yixin took a small piece of dough into the tart tin and trimmed the edges with a sharp knife. She then pricked the pastry at the bottom of the tart tin with a small fork.
