MILKTART

Milk tart, also known as "melktert" in Afrikaans, is a beloved classic South African dessert cherished for its creamy texture and delicate sweetness. This iconic treat consists of a buttery pastry crust filled with a smooth, custard-like mixture made primarily from milk, eggs, sugar, and gluten free flour, often infused with fragrant hints of vanilla, cinnamon and cardemom.

The pastry crust, typically made from flour, butter, sugar, and sometimes a touch of baking powder, provides a crisp contrast to the velvety filling. Once baked to perfection, the milk tart is often dusted with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top, adding a warm and aromatic flavor to each bite.

Served either warm or chilled, milk tart is a comforting and nostalgic dessert enjoyed on various occasions, from family gatherings to holidays. Its origins trace back to Dutch settlers in South Africa, and over the years, it has become an integral part of the country's culinary heritage, delighting taste buds and fostering a sense of tradition and community with every slice. Whether enjoyed as a decadent ending to a meal or as a simple indulgence with a cup of tea or coffee, milk tart holds a special place in the hearts of South Africans and continues to be a cherished dessert that brings people together.
