National Milk Tart Day is the country’s very own excuse to bake a delicious milk tart or try out some of its unique variations such as milk tart macaroons, milk tart flavoured milkshakes and even milk tart shooters. South Africans never fail to please!
It is said that the dessert originated from the Dutch Settlers in the 1600s.
Eggs, flour, sugar and milk will get you the sweet centre. Smack all of this with a pastry, biscuit or baked crust and you’re good to go.
You could even go crustless if you want. You could even bake it if you like.
On Sunday, we’ll reveal the outcome of our very own milk tart taste test. Look out for the post.
