Recipe - Milk Tart (Strictly Speaking - Melktert)

PASTRY
1 cup Flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
One half Egg (take 1 egg, beat it up
a bit and then use half of
this)
2 ounce Butter
One fourth cup Sugar salt

FILLING
1 One half Eggs (you use the other half
of the egg that contributed
to the pastry)
1 One fourth tablespoon Flour
1 One fourth tablespoon Cornflour
2 One fourth cup Milk (this is 1 pint)
1 teaspoon Vanilla flavouring
1 teaspoon Butter

Pastry: Beat together butter & sugar. Add egg, and then add in dry
ingredients. You should get a crumbly mix. Press this into a pie dish and
bake at 350F for 20 minutes.

Filling: Boil the milk. In another bowl/pot (depending on whether you are
using a microwave or cooker), beat the egg and sugar. Add the flour &
cornflour to the egg/sugar mixture and beat this together. Add the milk and
cook till it thickens. (This works well in a microwave oven). Remove from
heat and add vanilla & butter. Beat well, and pour into the baked shell.
Sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg, and cool. (This is best refrigerated.)
