By: Pink Polka Dot Food
Prep Time:  40 mins
Cook Time:  45 mins
Total Time:  1 hour 25 mins
Serves: 12
 
Ingredients
  • Pastry Ingredients:
  • 125ml soft butter or margarine
  • 125ml sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 5ml vanilla essence
  • 500ml cake flour
  • 10ml baking powder
  • Filling Ingredients:
  • 2 X 397g tins of full cream condensed milk
  • 250ml lemon juice
  • 6 eggs, separated
  • 375ml castor sugar
  • 125ml sugar
  • Pinch of salt
Instructions
  1. For the Pastry: 1. Beat the butter and sugar together. Add the egg and beat till creamy. Add the vanilla essence and mix through.
  2. Sift the cake flour and baking powder together and fold into the butter mixture.
  3. Line a large loose bottomed tin (28cm diameter) at the bottom and sides with the pastry. Prick with a fork and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  4. Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
  5. Bake the Pastry for 15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and reduce oven temperature to 160ºC.
  6. For the filling: 1. Mix the condensed milk and lemon juice very well.
  7. Add the egg yolks and mix again very well. Pour into the pastry.
  8. Make sure that you have measured your sugars and salt and that it is ready to add to the egg whites, before you start beating the egg whites.
  9. With an electric egg beater, beat the whites till stiff. Add the castor sugar very slowly, about 15ml at a time whilst beating continuously. Add the salt and the sugar, also about 15ml at a time whilst continuing to beat.
  10. Put the meringues on top of the condensed milk mixture. You can either spoon the mixture over and use a fork to make some waves or use an icing bag and decorate the meringue onto the condensed milk mixture.
  11. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 30 minutes until the meringue is caramel brown.
  12. Remove from the oven and wait till the tart is completely cool before removing from the baking tin.
