    milk tart with crust




    For the pastry:
    2 Cups of flour
    1 egg
    1/2 cup sugar
    2tsp Baking powder
    125g butter
    pinch of salt
    Cream butter and sugar together, add egg and all other ingredients till it’s a soft, stiff dough.
    It makes a lot of dough, so you can do 2 dishes with this or as I did, 1 full tart and 12 cupcake size tarts.
    Bake at 180 degrees until light brown.
    For the Filling:
    4 1/2 Cups Milk (1.125l)
    2 Tbsp cornflour
    3/4 Cup Sugar (I used brown, raw sugar)
    2 1/2 Tbsp flour
    Dash vanilla essence
    bit of butter
    1. Bring milk to the boil slowly, make sure it does not boil over
    2. Beat eggs, sugar, flour, cornflour well together and pour into the boiled milk.  Mix well
    3. Allow mixture to thicken, then add in the butter and vanilla essence and continue stirring.  The mixture should resemble a porridge consistency.




    4. Remove from heat and pour into the shells, 
    5. Leave to stand for about 10 minutes, sprinkle with cinnamon and refrigerate until ready to serve
    Enjoy it !
