Recipe for Melktert

As part of my recent virtual blog tour for a Ghost and His Gold, I shared a recipe for a delicious South African pudding called melktert.

Melktert stems for the Dutch settlers in the Cape in the 1600s. The original recipe is believed to have been derived from a recipe for Mattentaart which was included in Thomas van der Noot’s book “Een notable boexcken van cokeryen” (A notable Book of Cookery).
