This week, Peter Goffe-Wood dives into the most pure South African delicacy- Milk Tart!
Follow the recipe below, while you listen to this weeks episode of Pinch of Salt on #InTheZone with Megan Prinsloo.
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
2tblsp butter, melted
3 eggs, separated
1 cup flour
1tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt
1tsp ground cinnamon
1 roll ready made sweet pastry
Method:
Heat the oven to 160ĖC. Roll out the sweet pastry and line a tart case. Leave the
tart case to rest in the fridge for 20 min before baking, this will help to prevent
shrinkage. Place a piece of foil on top of the pastry base and weigh it down with
rice or dried beans. Bake the the tart case in the oven for approx 15-20 or until
firm and golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
Beat the sugar and melted butter together until smooth. Then add the egg yolks
and beat until light and & fluffy. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking
powder and salt and this sift it into the egg mixture. Stir together until smooth
and then whisk in the milk.
Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks and then fold them carefully into the custard
base.
Pour the mixture into a lined and precooked tart case. Sprinkle the ground
cinnamon on top and bake in a heated oven at 160ĖC for approximately 25
minutes. The custard should have a little wobble to it.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool, or alternatively eat immediately.
