Melktert Resepte

There are many different ways of making Melktert. One method is to cook the filling on the stove and then add it to a prepared crust. The other is to bake it in the oven together with the crust.
A crust can be made from “Tennis” or “Marie” biscuits, although the traditional way is to use a pastry dough crust.

The traditional filling is made from milk and eggs, so it’s basically a custard. More modern versions use starch (Maizina) and some even use Condensed milk.
You can also make milk tart in a microwave oven.

See our page about baking substitutes for more information about Maizina

Milk tart by Kerry Mayer

This recipe makes 2 milk tarts in a 20cm pie dish

CRUST

  • 125g butter (at room temp)
  • 125ml sugar
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • 500ml flour
  • 10ml baking powder

FILLING

  • 1 litre + 125ml milk
  • 30ml butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 200ml sugar
  • 40ml flour
  • 40ml Maizena (Speisestärke)

CRUST

  1. Cream sugar and margarine
  2. Add egg and mix
  3. Sieve flour & baking powder
  4. Mix wet and dry ingredients until you get a dough.
  5. Line dishes with dough mixture (fairly thin lining) bake until golden brown.

FILLING

  1. Separate 2 of the eggs
  2. Mix 125ml milk, whole egg, 2 egg yolks, sugar, flour & maizena together.
  3. (known as milk mixture)
  4. Whisk egg whites until points form.
  5. Bring 1 Litre of milk and 30 ml margarine to the boil. (This can be started just prior to
  6. whisking egg whites)
  7. Once the milk has reached boiling point, add the milk mixture, stir continuously
  8. to prevent lumps from forming. Bring to the boil.
  9. Remove above from heat, add the egg whites, (I always whisk the whites in)
  10. NB it may appear to have small lumps, not to worry, it’s the whites and will not
  11. affect the finished product.
  12. Pour into crust lined dishes and sprinkle with cinnamon.
  13. Once the tarts have cooled, place them in the fridge.

If you prefer to have a thinner crust use less dough and the remainder of the crust can be rolled and pressed to make cookies.

Charlene's Milktart

Crust:
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
250g butter (cold)
1/4 cup ice water
1 egg yolk

Filling:
4 cups milk
3/4 cups flour
10 tbsp sugar (can even do 7 or 8)
4 eggs
1tsp salt
3 tbsp butter
1,5 tsp vanilla essence

Crust:
Sift flour and salt.
Grate butter and rub into the flour mixture.
Whisk ice water and egg yolk foam, mix lightly into the flour mixture.
Place the dough in the fridge to cool.
When it is ice-cold, press the dough into a pre-buttered tart pan (I used a 28cm diameter) and place it back in the fridge while you make the tart filling.

Filling:
Preheat the oven to 180 C
In a medium pot, heat 3 cups of milk on the stovetop, medium heat. Separately sift flour, and mix with sugar, 1 cup milk and salt. (Make sure there are no lumps!)
Stir the flour mixture into the warm milk and simmer till cooked and thickened up, custard texture. Keep stirring regularly to make sure there are no lumps. And medium heat to not burn the milk!!
Separate eggs: Whisk 4 egg yolks and mix with a little warm milk mixture before adding all into the pot and mixing well.
Add the butter and keep stirring till all melted, also add vanilla. Take the mixture off the stovetop. Whisk the egg whites well but not dry, and lightly fold (not whisk) into the milk mixture.
Pour filling into the tart pan.
Bake in pre-heated oven for 45 minutes or till light golden brown crust+filling.
Let it cool down and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon or cinnamon sugar mix.

Melktert met Duitse Bestandele

Kors

  • 1 pakkie Leibniz Keks
  • 125 g botter, gesmelt

Nota: Die kors is aanvanklik los, maar bind vanself wanneer die warm vulsel bo-oor gegooi word.

Vulsel

  • 1 liter melk
  • 2 teelepels botter
  • 1 kaneelstokkie
  • 80 ml 405 koekmeel
  • 80 ml Speisestärke (mielieblom)
  • 1 ml sout
  • 125 ml melk (ekstra, vir die meelmengsel)
  • 200 ml suiker
  • 3 medium eiers
  • 5 ml vanieljegeursel
  • Fyn kaneel, vir bo-oor strooi

Stap 1: Maak die kors

Druk die Leibniz-kekse fyn en meng met die gesmelte botter.
Druk die mengsel liggies in ’n tertpan vas. Moenie stres as dit los lyk nie — dit sal later mooi bind.
Sit die pan vir ’n rukkie in die yskas as jy wil hê dit moet vinniger stol.

Stap 2: Verhit die melk

Gooi die 1 liter melk, 2 teelepels botter en die kaneelstokkie in ’n kastrol.
Verhit oor matige hitte totdat dit net begin kook. Moenie wegloop nie — melk is ’n stout kind.

Stap 3: Meng die droë en koue bestanddele

Klits die koekmeel, Speisestärke, sout, 125 ml melk, suiker, eiers en  vanielje saam. 
Klits tot ’n gladde, egalige mengsel sonder klonte.

Stap 4: Temper en kook

Gooi 1–2 koppies van die warm melk stadig by die koue meelmengsel, terwyl jy aanhoudend en vinnig roer.
Gooi nou hierdie mengsel terug in die kastrol by die warm melk. 
Hou aan roer — reg tot onder in die pot — anders brand dit vas.
Laat dit kook totdat dit dik word en borrel soos ’n klein vulkaan.
👉 As dit nie behoorlik kook nie, is die meel nie gaar nie, en die tert sal nie mooi stol nie.
Twifel jy? Roer en kook eerder ’n minuut langer.
