South African Milk Tart

I used to just purchase a couple of tart shells when I make this recipe – I need two as the ones that I can find are usually quite small. Though, it is really quite simple to make your own tart shell. I seem to be having to make my own tart shells more often as pre-made ones are getting harder to purchase here.

Made with common ingredients, and only the base needing to be baked, this recipe is easy to make and delicious, served with Rooibos tea for morning or afternoon tea or as a dessert.
