Verka Milk Tart

INGREDIENTS: To Serve – 8

• Pastry Crust.
• 1 ½ – cups White flour.
• 3 tbsp sugar – powdered.
• 9 tablespoons – Verka Butter cold cut into small pieces.
• 1 Egg large (50g – 55g).
• 1 Tablespoon – Water.

PREPARATION:

• Grease a 9-inch pie or tart pan better if removable bottom or standard pan is fine to use. Line with butter paper to the size of the pan.
• In a bowl add flour, salt and sugar, mix ingredients. Add, mix with finger tips until the flour turns its texture like breadcrumbs. Add 1 egg, lightly whisked and a tablespoon of water and mix gently until forms a dough. Remove the dough on a work surface and work little more gently on dough.
• Lightly press the dough on the prepared tart pan – working from the center up until the bottom and sides are fully covered evenly with pastry. Place tart pan with layer of short crust pastry in the freezer for 30 – 35 minutes. This helps prevent the dough from rising.
• Preheat oven to 400°F or 205°C and place rack in center of oven.
