Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350⁰F (180⁰C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or your mini tart casings.
- In a mixing bowl, add the 1/2 cup cake flour, 3/4 cup sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the 4 eggs and whisk until smooth. It might look a bit thick at this stage, that’s fine.
- Slowly pour in the 2 cups of milk while whisking to prevent lumps.
- Stir in the 2 tsp vanilla essence.
- Add the 1/4 cup of soft butter and mix well until everything is combined.
- The batter will be quite thin, almost like a pourable custard.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared dish or mini casings. Sprinkle a light layer of ground cinnamon over the top.
- Bake for about 30 minutes if using mini casings, or 40 to 45 minutes for a larger tart.
- The centre should still have a slight wobble when you gently shake the pan; it’ll firm up as it cools.
- Let it cool in the large dish before slicing.

It’s the kind of batter that seems almost too basic, yet the final texture says otherwise. Once cooled, it slices into soft, smooth slices with just enough structure.
