In honor of a very special birthday (that would be my own) today we woke up to a wonderful breakfast of milk tart pie made special for us by our CS hosts (the same ones with which we started our South African adventure). It is a South African Milk Tart and it made for a perfect breakfast (and will make a perfect un-birthday dessert) so we thought we’d steal the recipe to share!
The filling:
4 (6) cups of milk
2 (3) T butter
1 (1 ½) cups sugar
3 (4) eggs
2 (3) T flour
2 (3) T maizena (corn flour)
1 (1 ½) t vanilla
Cinnamon (as much as you’d like)
Boil the milk and butter. Beat the sugar, eggs, flour and maizena. When boiling add mixture and stir all the time until filling thickens. Remove and add the vanilla. Pour into bases. Sprinkle with cinnamon. For the base/crust just use whatever pie crust you like the best. Graham cracker will work for most people but I can think of a few friends from DC who specialize in making a nice Oreo crust as well.
