A classic blend of nostalgic flavours, this stirring and incredibly smooth drink is ideal for sharing with friends and family on any occasion.<\/p>\n It\u2019s safe to say that Milk Tart is firmly set in South African culture, from its origins until today, so much so that the 27th of February has officially been declared \u2018National Milk Tart Day\u2019! On this day, people all across the nation celebrate and bond over their love for the traditional dessert.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Although the origins of Milk Tart are widely speculated, its earliest muses can be traced back to the Dutch cookbook, Een Notabel Boecxken van Cokeryen<\/i> (1514) by Thomas van der Noot. Except, this version is called \u2018Mattentart\u2019.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In fact, almost every country has a version of Milk Tart, one might suggest it could have been influenced by its cousins \u2013 Italian Torte della Nonna, Portuguese Pasteis de Nata or French Flan Patissier.<\/p>\n This treasured treat spans generations and has been passed down from mother to daughter, recited by heart and etched in the memories of matriarchal heroes and tannies alike. Interestingly, earlier Milk Tart recipes focus on the filling portion, with many recipes excluding the base, perhaps leaving it to the imagination and preference of the baker. Whether you make your Milk Tart with a flaky puff pastry crust, enjoy it crustless or with a biscuit base, a dash of Tant\u2019 Sannie se Melktert can only make it better!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Celebrate National Milk Tart Day with Tant\u2019 Sannie and make this delicious Milk Tart recipe \u2013 it\u2019s the perfect teatime treat for you and your family.<\/i><\/p>\n 1 packet (200 g) Tennis biscuits 1 tin (397 g) condensed milk To crush the Tennis biscuits, either place into a Ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to crush, alternatively pulse in a stand mixer to a fine crumb. Add the melted butter to the biscuits and mix to combine. Pour the crumbs into a 20 cm pie dish and press in firmly, ensuring that you go up the sides of the dish as well.<\/p>\n Place the condensed milk, milk and Tant\u2019 Sannie se Melktert<\/strong> cream liqueur into a saucepan and gently heat.<\/p>\n Mix the cornflour and egg in a small bowl to form a paste. Pour about a tablespoon of the milk mixture into the cornflour mixture, mix it well and then add it to the saucepan. Whisk continuously over a low heat until thickened, this should take about 8-10 minutes.<\/p>\n Pour the mixture into the biscuit-lined dish and place into the refrigerator to chill completely. Once cooled and set, dust the top evenly with cinnamon, then slice and serve.<\/p>\n Have a sweet tooth?
