The homemade crust is better than the premade ones. Trust me, it is very easy to make. You’ll surely be amazed at how delicious it is once you take the first bite. You’ll never go back to buying them from the stores ever again. The filling is sweet, milky, and creamy with a hint of cinnamon. I highly recommend you try this milk pie, aka milk tart at home.

If you want it to have a soft texture, refrigerate it for only 2 hours. It will become firmer when placed longer in the refrigerator.

• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 1 egg (beaten)
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• flour as required

Filling:

• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla

How to Make Milk Pie At Home

Step 1:

In a large bowl, add the softened butter and sugar in a bowl and mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 2:

Mix in the egg and vanilla. Next, add the baking powder and flour (a little at a time), mixing after every addition. When the dough starts to come together, use your hands to mix until it forms a soft but not sticky dough.

Step 3:

Place the dough onto a piece of baking paper and roll it out about 0.12 inches thick. Flip it over onto your greased pie dish, then remove the baking paper. Gently press and remove the air bubbles. Trim excess dough using sharp knife. Using a fork, pierce several holes into the bottom and sides of the sough. Scrunch the baking paper you used earlier then line the inside. Trim any excess using sharp scissors, then add in your pie weights, beans, or rice.

Step 4:

Bake the dough in the oven at 356F for about 10 minutes. Once done, remove the weights, then place it back in the oven for another 5 minutes. Remove from the oven then set aside.

Step 5:

Make the filling.  In a mixing bowl, add the eggs, corn flour, and flour. Whisk together until it forms a smooth paste. Add a little bit of the milk and mix well. Set aside.

Step 6:

Pour the remaining milk into a pot and place over high heat. Add the sugar, butter, and vanilla. Mix well. Let it come to a boil while stirring occasionally. When it starts to boil, strain in your egg mixture and stir constantly with a whisk until it thickens. Immediately transfer into your prepared pie crust. Spread and dust cinnamon on top.

Step 7:

Place into the fridge for two hours or overnight and it’s ready to serve.
