Tart Base

This makes an excellent Milk tart base, but you can use it for jam tarts, apple crumble, or even savoury tarts!


Ingredients:

50g Butter/Margarine
2 Tbsp Sugar
1 Egg
200ml Flour
2 tsp Baking powder
1 Tbsp Milk
Pinch of Salt

Method:

Cream the butter/margarine and sugar together. Add the egg and beat like a maniac until light and fluffy. Add the dry ingredients together with the milk to the mixture. Mix until there are no lumps and a soft dough is formed. Grease your tart dish generously. Press the dough out inside the tart dish; making sure every point, edge and surface are covered. Keep smoothing it until you get a smooth even base, you don’t want thick bits when you eat the tart. I like to make the dough form a little edge around the top of the dish so it looks good when serving!
