Milk Tart

PASTRY
1 cup Flour
1 tsp Baking powder
1/2 x Egg (take 1 egg, beat it up a bit and then use half of this)
2 oz Butter
1/4 cup Sugar salt

FILLING
1 1/2 x Eggs (you use the other half of the egg that contributed to the pastry)
1 1/4 tbl Flour
1 1/4 tbl Cornflour
2 1/4 cup Milk (this is 1 pint)
1 tsp Vanilla flavouring
1 tsp Butter

Pastry: Beat together butter & sugar. Add egg, and then add in dry ingredients. You should get a crumbly mix. Press this into a pie dish and bake at 350F for 20 minutes.

Filling: Boil the milk. In another bowl/pot (depending on whether you are using a microwave or cooker), beat the egg and sugar. Add the flour & cornflour to the egg/sugar mixture and beat this together. Add the milk and cook till it thickens. (This works well in a microwave oven). Remove from heat and add vanilla & butter. Beat well, and pour into the baked shell.

Sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg, and cool. (This is best refrigerated.)
