    Milk Tart, This is a very popular South african Teatime treat/Dessert a plus in its favour is it can be made in advance The traditional version is made with a Puff Pastry base but I find a short crust type base makes it much easier to cut and handle The filling can also be put into Custard cups and served as a milk pudding , As a Saffer living in London and my daughter’s birthday tomorrow, melktert was the only option for a traditional treat What a great recipe this is Maklik , i am a South African expat living in the USA feeling homesick and desperately craving melktert, i found this recipe it turned out perfectly – it doesn’t get better than this!
