Steps to make South African Milk Tart / Melktert:
  1. Preheat oven to 180’C
  2. Make biscuit base. Cream the sugar and butter. Add muesli and mix. Then using a fork stir the flour into the mixture. Once it is mixed through press down into cake tin or pie dish. Bake for 30 minutes.

Mix the flour, cornflour, sugar then add touch of milk until mixed through and runny. Add the eggs and whisk until all lumps are gone. When the milk has warmed up but not boiling add egg and flour mixture in and keep stirring. Reduce heat and keep stirring for 2 minutes.
