Instructions

Make biscuit base

1 Make biscuit base

  • Grease a small rectangular (17x13 cm) or small round dish. Using a food processor, blitz the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs.
  • Place 50g butter in a microwavable bowl and heat for 10-20 sec until melted.
  • In a small bowl, combine the biscuit crumbs and melted butter.
  • Using the back of a spoon, firmly press the biscuit mix into the base of the preferred dish.
  • Refrigerate while the filling is prepared.
Tip! If you do not have a food processor, place biscuits in a ziplock sandwich bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Warm milk

2 Warm milk

  • Meanwhile, heat the milk and 10g butter over low heat to just below boiling.
  • Once the butter is melted and the milk is warm, remove from the heat.
Prepare egg mixture

3 Prepare egg mixture

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, flour, corn starch, sugar and vanilla essence for 1 min until light and airy.
Cook custard

4 Cook custard

  • Slowly add 2-3 Tbsp of the warmed milk to the egg mixture, whisking continuously.
  • Pour the now warmed egg mixture back into the pot.
  • Return the pot to medium heat, whisking continuously for 5-6 min until the custard has thickened.
  • Pour onto the biscuit base and cover with cling film. Allow to set in the fridge for 3-4 hours or overnight.
Tip! Allow the cling film to touch the custard to avoid the top of the tart drying out.
Dust with cinnamon

5 Dust with cinnamon

  • Once set, remove the Milk Tart from the fridge.
  • Remove the cling film and dust generously with cinnamon.
Serve

6 Serve

  • Slice into portions and serve the South African Milk Tart chilled.
