SOUTH AFRICAN MELKTERT (MILK TART)
My 'ouma' South African grandmother's legendary milk tart. It is lip-smacking. The recipe is a real winner. It is a traditional South African tart that is very easy to prepare.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat a 9 inch deep dish pie plate with vegetable oil cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix together the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the egg yolks and beat until light and fluffy. Sift in the cake flour, baking powder and salt, and stir until well blended. Mix in the vanilla and milk. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites to stiff peaks using an electric mixer. Fold into the batter. Pour into the prepared pie plate, and sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top.
- Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Continue to bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is set when you gently jiggle the pie. Serve hot or cold.

- To make the filling, heat the milk, cream, vanilla, almond extract and nutmeg in a saucepan over medium heat.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, sugar, flours and salt.
- Once the milk is hot, whisk two ladles full of the milk into the egg mixture to temper the eggs.

This recipe is great for people who do not have much of a sweet tooth. For those who love sweet things, you can add as much sugar as you want to suit your taste buds! It is delightful and quick to make. I usually make it for my husband on his birthday. It's his favorite!

SOUTH AFRICAN MILK TART -- TRADITIONAL
NEW INTRO ON 22 Sept 08: This recipe has had such strange "reviews" that I thought a new intro was needed! After Kiwidutch's 2 star review I DID find a major typo in the recipe and corrected it. This recipe has a hundred small variations! As to those who believe that my facts are wrong: the traditional milk tart ("melktert" ) was made by cooks in olden days who made their own puff or flaky pastry, long before it was available frozen! The filling was then poured into the raw flaky pastry, sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon, and baked in a hot oven until puffy and golden brown. Naturally this puff settled, like a souffle. To be at its best it was served warm. As time went by, cooks also used short pastry as well, but this needed to be blind-baked before the filling could be added and the final baking done. The present-day shortcuts to be found in abundance in bakeries, shops and home industries in South Africa are not really "melktert". Melktert is NOT a custard poured into a crumbly crust and left to set. That must be the "melktert" my critics know and assume to be real milk tart. But those tarts/pies are the kind they used to push into people's faces in old slapstick movies. After the two opinions posted, puzzled by the opinions, I checked all my older recipe books***, and found that all of them, in fact, said "flaky pastry" or "puff pastry", and all of them gave a recipe for a filling to be baked in the crust. There are better recipes than this one ... You only need to find the one which works best for you. But a filling which is merely poured into a ready-made crust is not the real thing. And the tannies will be glad I rewrote this intro. They must be turning in their graves about those gloppy custard pies being sold as "melktert" these days! ***Kook en Geniet/Cook and Enjoy It (Mrs S J de Villiers), Reader's Digest South African Cookbook (Chief Consultant Philippa Cheifitz), Traditional Cookery in Southern Africa (Judy Desmond), Our Best Traditional Recipes (Vida Heard & Lesley Faull) -- and also several cookbooks published in country districts.

Steps:
- Roll out the pastry on a floured board until thinner.
- Beat an extra egg -- not one of the 4 in the ingredient list -- in a small bowl.
- Line 2 average-size or smaller pastry plates with the pastry, being careful not to strech it. Crimp edges, paint with the egg, and put in fridge to keep cold.
- Heat oven to 400 deg F/200 deg Celsius.
- Heat 3 of the cups of milk with the cinnamon. If using stick cinnamon, take it out when milk is hot (not boiling).
- Mix the flour, cornflour, salt and 4 tablespoons of the sugar with the extra cup of milk in another pot. Add the hot milk to this mixture, and keep whisking to prevent lumps forming.
- Bring to a slow boil while stirring or whisking, add vanilla, keep stirring.
- Take from heat and add the butter.
- Whisk the egg whites until stiff, add the rest of the sugar (4 tblsp) and whisk until really firm and glossy.
- Now whisk the egg yolks well, and add to the cooled milk mixture: you don't want boiled eggs!
- Fold in egg whites; use a whisk to incorporate them.
- Pour into the 2 lined pastry plates.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven: 10 mins at heat given above, then lower heat to 350 deg F/180 deg Celsius.
- Bake until puffed up and golden brown on top -- about 20+ minutes extra.
- When they come out of the oven you can sprinkle the tops with a cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- The milk tarts will fall again, which is normal. Best served still slightly warm, but can be made ahead, cooled and refrigerated. Always serve at room temperature or warm in oven again.

Steps:
- Put all the ingredients together into a bowl or food processor and beat to a smooth batter.
- Pour into a buttered pie dish (approximately 23cm/9" in diameter, but it doesn't matter if it's not exact, the finished tart will just be either a bit deeper or shallower). Sprinkle the cinnamon over the top.
- Bake for 45 minutes at 175C / 350°F
- Serve warm or cold. It sinks and becomes denser as it cools. If you eat it hot you'll need a spoon to scoop up the soft custardy tart but cold you can pick up the slices in your hand, if it hasn't vanished long before then. :).
