Popular South African Pastry

Milk Tart

Milk tart is a South African dessert, consisting of a sweet pastry crust containing a custard filling made from milk, flour, sugar and eggs. The dessert originated among settlers at the Dutch Cape Colony in the 17th century, and is believed to have developed from the Dutch mattentaart, a cheesecake-like dessert, which was included in the cookbook: Een Notabel Boexcken Van Cokeryen; published by Thomas van der Noot around 1514. Cinnamon is often sprinkled over its surface. Millktart may be served chilled or at room temperature, or slightly warmed.
