3.
Add 1 egg yolk; (no egg whites!)
4.

5.

8.
Pour 20g of butter into the pot and melt it on a low heat;

10.
Pour the adjusted cornstarch liquid into the pot in a circle and continue to stir fry on low heat;

Take out the loose dough in the refrigerator, use a rolling pin to roll it into about 3 mm thick dough pieces, and then divide them into 8 portions according to the size of the mold;
14.
Take a piece of dough, put it into the mold, press gently along the inner edge with your hands, and then use scissors to remove the dough that has been over a month old;
15.
Use a fork or toothpicks to make some holes in the middle, mainly to bulge the bottom during the baking process; at this time, preheat the oven to 200 degrees in advance;
16.
Roll out the excess pie crust and cut it into strips of the same size as the diameter of the mold;
17.
Add the cooled pie filling;
