Ingredients

Milk-tart Filling:

  • 4 ½ cups milk
  • 3 tablespoon Stork Bake
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 3 eggs beaten
  • 2 ½ tablespoon flour
  • 4 tablespoon corn flour
  • ½ tablespoon custard powder
  • 3 Cinnamon quills

Crêpes:

  • 300 grams cake flour
  • 2 Cups milk
  • ½ Cup water
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 tablespoon melted Stork Bake plus a little extra for frying

Instructions 

Milk-tart Filling:

  • Bring the milk to a boil.
  • Add the stork bake and cinnamon quills and stir well.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, sugar, corn flour, custard powder and flour together.
  • Remove the cinnamon quills from the milk then add 1 cup of the hot milk to the egg mixture while whisking continuously.
  • Add the egg mixture to the remaining hot milk and whisk well.
  • Allow mixture to thicken before removing from the heat.

Crêpes:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt together.
  • In a separate container, whisk the melted Stork Bake, eggs, water and milk together.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Allow the mixture to stand for at least 30 minutes.
  • Place a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little Stork Bake to the pan.
  • Add a small amount of batter to the pan and swirl it around to ensure the pan is evenly coated with batter.
  • Once the edges begin to lift, flip the crêpe and cook until golden brown.
  • Repeat the process until all the batter has been used.

To assemble the cake:

  • Place two pancakes on a cake stand as a base and spread a thin layer of the milk tart filling over the pancake.
  • Top the filling with one pancake and spread another thin layer of filling over the pancake.
  • Repeat the process until all the pancakes have been stacked.
  • Top the cake with a little extra milk tart filling and dust with cinnamon.
