Friends of mine asked me to cook African for them so I decided to make milktart for dessert. Unfortunatley I left my cookbooks in RSA when I moved here. This recipe is just like the one I remember and tastes wonderful. Thank you for posting.

This was wonderful. I only made the filling and used a store bought pie crust. The filling tastes just like rice pudding and the filling recipe would be great to use on its own as a nice hot custard. I mixed the eggs, flour, corn flour, vanilla in a bowl then slowly poured the hot milk/butter mixture into the flour/egg mix while mixxing it. mixing it this way is easier because it does not form lumps. Then I put it all back in the saucepan and thickened the custard. Thankyou for this recipe

I made this tart for Easter dinner and it was easy to make and delicious. I halved the recipe and used a single 10 inch springform pan. After coming to room temp, I placed the tart in the fridge for an hour. The fridge helped firm up the tart and I was surprised how nicely it sliced. I will be making this again! Thanks for posting.
