Steps:
- For the pastry, pulse the butter, flour and sugar in a food processor until it has the consistency of breadcrumbs. Alternately, rub in the cold butter with two knives or a pastry cutter. Try not to use your hands as it will warm up the butter.
- Add the egg and water and mix until just combined.
- Bring the pastry into a ball and flatten into a disk on a piece of cling wrap. This makes it easier to roll into a round shape later.
- Chill and rest the pastry for about 30 minutes before use.
- Roll out the pastry and line a 25 cm tart pan ensuring that the pastry overlaps the sides a bit as it may shrink during baking if not rested enough. I chilled it again for another 10 minutes before baking.
- Switch on the oven and heat to 200 degrees celcius / 400 F / Gas mark 6.
- Prick the base and line with parchment paper and baking beans or beans, and bake blind for about 10 minutes.
- Remove the baking beans and bake for another five minutes. Be careful not to get a burn as you may drop the beans and damage the tart case.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 170 degrees celcius / 350 F / Gas mark 4.
- Cook the filling while the pastry base is baking in the oven.
- In a medium size bowl mix the butter and flour ensuring there are no lumps. Add in the condensed milk, vanilla and the egg yolks and mix until smooth.
- Heat the milk until it reaches boiling point stirring occasionally with a flat edged wooden spoon to prevent it catching and burning on the bottom of the pot.
- Add a little of the boiled milk to the egg mixture ensuring that you whisk out all the lumps. Slowly add the rest of the milk while whisking or stirring and then return to the pot and place back on the heat.
- Stir the milk mixture on the heat until it thickens and it starts to bubble.
- Remove the pot from the stove and let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes.
- Whisk the egg whites and salt until they are glossy but not too stiff. It should be soft peaks at this stage, not the 'tip it over your head and it doesn't drop' stiffness.
- Fold the egg whites into the cooled custard mixture.
- Pour into the pastry case and bake for 15-20 minutes until it is set. Do not over bake as it will rise and sink like an overdone souffle.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon powder and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- For the crust, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or knife until the flour resembles a coarse cornmeal.
- Stir in the sour cream to form a soft dough.
- Dust the dough with flour and form it into a ball.
- On a generously floured surface, roll out the dough to fix at 11x13-inch baking sheet or a 14-inch pizza pan. It will be thicker than a usual pie crust.
- Carefully lift the dough and lay it out flat on the unoiled pan. Crimp the edges by pinching them to form a rim. Pierce the dough with a fork in several places.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until crisp and golden.
- Meanwhile, make the custard by heating the milk to boiling.
- Combine the sugar, flour, eggs, and salt in a blender.
- When the milk begins o foam, pur it slowly into the whirling blender.
- Pour the custard back into the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 3-5 minutes, until thickened.
- Remove from the heat, and stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Set aside.
- When the crust has baked, spread the custard filling evenly over it.
- Generously sprinkle the top with cinnamon and brown sugar. Return the tart to the oven for about 15 minutes, until the brown sugar melts and the top of the custard is firm.
- Serve the milk tart warm or cold.
