I grew up with a grandmother who could make a milktart with the same ease in which I make a cup of coffee.
We would arrive and see would look at us, deem us starving and get out her milktart pan and ingredients to start baking .
We, naturally never once said no! And there was not a celebration that did not go by without a milktart.
I don’t make my milktart nearly as well as she did, and I often wusged I had taken more notice of her baking tips, but, none the less I thought I would share her recipe.
It wouldn’t be #worldtourismday if I didn’t share a true South African Milktart recipe
