Tarte de Leite e Canela

I love a good milk tart, I find that it is one the simplest desserts to put together, and it always seems that you've spent hours on it.

It is very much like a custard tart in that it's filling is creamy, creates it's own sweet pastry like crust and that sprinkling of cinnamon on the top just take this tart to the next level.

This is such a quick dessert to make, and it is sure to impress your family and friends.  I've made this one a little different in that I substituted normal Vitamin D milk for Lactose Free Milk so that my daughter could enjoy it too, as she is Lactose intolerant.

Tarte de Leite e Canela - Portuguese Milk and Cinnamon Tart

Ingredients:
1 and 1/2 cups of sugar
1/4 cup of melted butter
4 eggs
1 cup of flour
2 cups of milk (I used Lactose Free Milk)
Cinnamon (to taste)



Preheat the oven to 350ºF.  Grease a round cake pan with butter and dust with flour.

In a stand mixer, mix the sugar and butter, then add in the eggs, flour and mix well.

Add the milk, stir well and then let stand for ten minutes.

Pour the prepared batter into the pan, sprinkle with cinnamon and bake for 30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center, comes out clean.

Remove from oven, let cool slightly and then remove from pan.
