Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

400 g (14 ounces) puff pastry or flaky pastry (see tips, below)
500 ml (2 cups) full-cream milk (whole milk)
1 stick cinnamon
3 eggs, separated
80 ml (1/3 cup) cake flour
15 ml (1 tablespoon) cornflour (cornstarch)
80 ml (1/3 cup) castor sugar (superfine sugar - regular sugar may be substituted)
2 ml (1/2 teaspoon) baking powder
30 g (30 ml) (2 tablespoons) butter
15 ml (1 tablespoon) vanilla essence (vanilla extract)
ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • CRUST
  • Set the oven at 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a 24-cm (10-inch) shallow enamel plate or quiche tin. Roll out the pastry and line the baking plate or tin. Press in a piece of oiled foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake the crust for about 5 minutes more until crisp and golden. Allow to cool.
  • FILLING
  • Measure three-quarters of the milk into a saucepan, add the cinnamon and heat to just below boiling point. Set aside to infuse for about 15 minutes.
  • Mix together the remaining milk, egg yolks, flour, cornflour (cornstarch), castor sugar (superfine or regular sugar) and baking powder. Strain the cinnamon-flavoured milk, pour into a clean saucepan and cook, stirring, until the custard thickens. Remove from the heat, and whisk in the butter and vanilla essence. Cool to room temperature. Reduce oven temperature to 180°C (350°F).
  • Whisk the egg white stiffly and fold into the custard. Pour into the pastry shell and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 160°C (325°F) and bake for about 30 minutes more, until the filling is set. Slide the hot tart onto a plate, sprinkle with ground cinnamon and serve warm.

This melktert was delicious! The filling was creamy and smooth, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I loved the hint of nutmeg and cinnamon in the filling. I will definitely be making this again.

I was really excited to try this melktert recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The filling was too runny and the crust was too soft. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This melktert was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The filling was creamy and smooth, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I would definitely make this again, but I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling.

This melktert was a disaster! The filling was runny and the crust was soggy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
