Title: South African Milk Tart
Yield: 1 Serving

Ingredients

  ----------------------------------Crust-----------------------------------
  2 1/2    Cups Flour
      2    Teaspoons Baking Powder
    1/4    Teaspoon Salt
      1    Cup Unsalted Butter
      1    Cup Sour Cream
 
  --------------------------------Custard-----------------------------------
      2    Cups Milk
    1/2    Cup Sugar
    1/4    Cup Flour
      5    Eggs
    1/4    Teaspoon Salt
      1    Teaspoon Vanilla
      1    Teaspoon Almond Extract
 
  --------------------------------Topping-----------------------------------
      2    Teaspoons Cinnamon
    1/2    Cup Brown Sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400.

For the crust, combine the flour, baking powder and salt in food
processor. Add butter and process until flour resembles coarse cornmeal.
Add sour cream and process until mixture forms a ball. On a floured
surface, roll out the dough to fit and 11 x 13-inch baking sheet or a
14-inch round pizza pan. Carefully lift the dough and lay it out flat on
the pan. Crimp the edges to form a rim (this may disappear during
baking!) and pierce the dough with a fork in several places. Bake for
25-30 minutes until crisp and golden.

Meanwhile, make the custard by heating the milk to boiling. Combine the
sugar, flour, eggs, and salt in a blender. When the milk begins to foam,
pour it slowly into the whirling blender. Pour the custard back into the
saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 3-5 minutes,
until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and almond
extracts.

When the crust has baked, spread the custard filling evenly over it.
Generously sprinkle the top with cinnamon and brown sugar. Return the
tart to the oven for about 15 minutes, until the brown sugar melts and
the top is firm. Serve warm or cold.
