Directions

For the Milk Tart:

1. Make sure your braai coals are low to medium in heat. 

2. In a medium skillet saucepan, combine the milk, vanilla essence, butter, sugar and cinnamon, then heat on the braai for a few minutes until melted.

3. In a smaller mixing bowl combine the flour, corn flour, salt and three egg yolks – add a little bit of milk and mix until you have a smooth paste.

4. Mix this floury paste into the warm milk mixture and whisk through.

5. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold into the warm milk mixture.

6. Return the pot to the coals and cook for another 3 minutes, stopping to whisk every 30 seconds until the mixture has thickened. Leave to cool.

 

For the Pastry Dippers:

7. Roll out the puff pastry, then place it directly on the braai grid and brush with melted butter. 

8. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon liberally over the pastry and fold in half. 

9. Place the braai grid directly over the coals and keep turning until crisp and brown. You can also brush with the leftover butter. 

10. Once browned and crisp, remove from the braai and place on a cutting board.
