This is the first time I have come across this. Must be yummy!
Thanks for this, Esme, I don’t have a good milk tart recipe.
This is what we call an egg custard tart in England or we make it just as an egg custard no base …One of my favourites 🙂
Correct, this is a typical SA version, and we also make it crustless. Again many variations on the theme
Love the flavors!
Another typical South African treat. Made my version of it as vegan yesterday.
Hi Esme,
this is just a test comment with all plugins activated. I think I found the problem and it was with WordPress Jetpack. Everything should be working correctly now though.
Kind regards
