Time 1h5m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup margarine
½ cup white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
2 teaspoons baking powder
salt to taste
4 cups milk
1 teaspoon margarine
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 ½ teaspoons all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or to taste
2 dashes ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine 1/2 cup margarine and 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until creamy. Add 2 cups flour, 1 egg, baking powder, and salt; mix well until dough comes together.
  • Press dough into bottom and sides of two 8-inch pie plates to form crusts.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
  • Combine milk and 1 teaspoon margarine in a saucepan over medium-low heat; bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
  • Mix 1 1/2 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 2 1/2 teaspoons flour, cornstarch, and vanilla extract into a smooth paste in a bowl. Pour over hot milk in the saucepan.
  • Return saucepan to medium heat and stir milk mixture until thick, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Divide milk mixture evenly between the cooled crusts. Sprinkle cinnamon on top. Cool until filling is set, about 30 minutes.

1/5 stars. This milk tart was the worst dessert I've ever had. The crust was like cardboard and the filling was like glue. I threw the whole thing away.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The milk tart was bland and flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my milk tart turned out a complete disaster. The crust was burnt and the filling was curdled. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The milk tart was good, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. I found the crust to be a bit too thick and the filling to be a bit too runny.

This milk tart was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of milk tarts, but this one was surprisingly good. The filling was light and fluffy, and the crust was nice and crispy.

5 stars! This milk tart is simply divine. The filling is so smooth and creamy, and the crust is perfectly golden brown. I highly recommend this recipe.

This milk tart is a winner! It's easy to make and always a hit with my family and friends. I love the fact that I can use store-bought puff pastry to make it even easier.

I've never had milk tart before, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. It's absolutely delicious! The filling is rich and creamy, and the crust is perfectly flaky.

This milk tart was a delightful treat! The creamy, custard-like filling was perfectly complemented by the crumbly pastry crust. I especially enjoyed the hint of cinnamon and nutmeg in the filling. It added a warm and inviting flavor.
