Traditional South African Milk Tart Recipe: A Melktert Delight

    This did NOT go well. The directions don't mention lining the plate with the crust. ;) The filling didn't fit in the pie plate. It wasn't set after an additional 30 minutes of baking. I pulled it anyway, let it cool & served up soft custard. The crust had absorbed the liquid & got thick & mushy. BUT THE FILLING WAS DELICIOUS! I would recommend cut back the milk to 3c, increase the eggs by 1. You could probably use less sugar. We all happily ate the filling, lol. Made for My 3 Chefs & African Tag 10/2013. Keep on keeping on, Chef. I hope *someone* tries this with better results. xo Bethie
