Milk Tart

Name: Milk Tart
Yield: 150.00 g
Cuisine: South Africa
Ingredients: 120.00 g Sweet pastry shell filled with milk-cornflour custard (closer to blancmange than European custard tart; cornflour not egg yolk as primary thickener; very light, soft, barely-set, almost wobbly white filling — not the egg-rich yellow of Portuguese pastel de nata); 1.00 g Ground cinnamon dusted generously on top (the canonical finish — milk tart without cinnamon is considered incomplete; a Dutch settler Cape farmhouse baking tradition from 18th–19th century); 0.00 g No additional ingredients — English name (milk tart) and Afrikaans name (melktert) coexist; both refer to the same preparation
