Ingredients




2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
1/2 cup butter (¼ lb.)
1/2 cup sugar
4 cups milk (breakfast cups - 1 of your China cups)
3 eggs
2 1/2 dessert spoons marzena (cornstarch)
2 1/2 dessert spoons flour
3 dessert spoons butter
3/4 cup sugar
Pinch salt

Preparation

1 Mix butter and sugar together; add egg and dry ingredients. Press into 2 (10- inch) pie plates. Bake at 325 to 350 degrees for 15 minutes. 2 A dessert spoon is smaller than a tablespoon; larger than a teaspoon. It is a soup spoon. 3 Heat milk to boiling point (don't boil). Cream eggs, butter and sugar; add flour, cornstarch and salt. Add this mixture to milk and bring to boil for few minutes; stir constantly. 4 Before pouring into shells, sprinkle shell with liberal amount of cinnamon. Pour in filling; sprinkle top with plenty of cinnamon (and nutmeg, if desired). 5 Enjoy! Delicious South African treat.
