Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to create this delightful dessert:

  • 1 pre-made pastry crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups of milk
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • Ground cinnamon for dusting

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to make your Milk Tart:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. If you’re using a homemade pastry crust, roll it out and place it into a tart pan. Poke holes in the bottom with a fork to avoid bubbling. If you’re using a store-bought crust, simply place it in the pan.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and half the sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, and eggs until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the milk, stirring continuously to combine.
  5. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble.
  6. Add the butter and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Remove from heat.
  7. Pour the filling into the prepared pastry crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until set.
  9. Once baked, allow the tart to cool at room temperature. After it has cooled, chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
  10. Before serving, dust with ground cinnamon for an extra touch of flavor.

Enjoy every bite of this delectable Milk Tart with family and friends. It’s bound to become a cherished favorite!
