Easy Milk Tart Recipe

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Stove Top: +/- 15 minutes
Yield: 1 27cm X 27cm Pyrex dish
Ingredients:
Marie biscuits (enough to line your dish)
1 liter milk
1 Tbsp. butter
2 eggs
1 tin condensed milk (385g)
1 tsp vanilla essence
a pinch of salt
4 heaped Tbsp. self raising flour
ground cinnamon
Method:
Line your dish with the Marie biscuits. Marie biscuits can be tricky because they’re round in shape, but you can either let them overlap, or trim them down with a knife to get them to fit perfectly into your dish. Set them aside, while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
On a stovetop (on a medium heat), place the milk and butter into a pot, and bring them to a boil.
While the milk and butter are heating, place the eggs into a separate mixing bowl, and beat them with an electric mixer until they become fluffy (roughly 30 seconds to a minute).
Add the condensed milk, vanilla essence and salt, and beat them until the mixture is combined.
Sift in the self raising flour, and beat again until combined (about 30 seconds). There’s no exact science to the self raising flour measurement… it should be heaped spoons… like this!
Once the milk and butter begin to boil, remove the pot from the stove, and slowly add the beaten ingredients into it, while stirring (if you don’t stir, it will become lumpy)!
Once combined, return it to the stove (on a low to medium heat), and keep stirring until the mixture thickens (it usually takes a couple of minutes).
Slowly pour the mixture over the Marie biscuits. Take it slow, otherwise the Marie Biscuits will will shift, and the base won’t be uniform!
Lastly, sprinkle with cinnamon and pop it into the fridge to cool for about 3 hours. Once it’s cold, enjoy with your family!
Easy Milk Tart Recipe
Equipment
- 27cm x 27cm Glass or Ceramic Dish
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- Marie Biscuits (enough to line your dish)
- 1 liter Milk
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tin Condensed Milk (385g)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Essence
- Pinch Salt
- 4 tbsp (heaped) Self-Raising Flour
- Ground Cinnamon (for sprinkling)
Instructions
Method:
- Line your dish with the Marie biscuits. Because Marie biscuits are round in shape, they aren't always that easy to perfectly line a dish. You can let them overlap if you like, or you can trim them down with a knife as and where you need to… it's up to you to decide!
- On a stovetop (on a medium heat), slowly bring to the boil.
- In the meantime (in a mixing bowl), beat the eggs with an electric mixer until they become foamy (roughly 30 seconds to a minute).
- Add the condensed milk, vanilla essence and salt, and beat until the mixture is combined.
- Sift in the self raising flour, and beat until combined (about 30 seconds). There's no exact science to the flour measurement… it should be heaped spoons… simple as that!
- Once the milk and butter mix begins to boil, remove the pot from the stove and slowly add the beaten ingredients to it while stirring (if you don't stir, it will become lumpy)! Once it's all combined in the pot, return it to the stove (on a low to medium heat) and keep stirring until the mixture thickens (it usually takes a couple of minutes).
- Slowly pour the mixture over the Marie biscuits in the dish.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon and pop it into the fridge to cool… once it's cold, enjoy with your family!
