The South African Crustless Milk Tart is a classic dessert in the South African cuisine. It's a creamy and smooth tart made with flour, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla essence, butter, salt, and cinnamon, and it's delightfully easy to make. With a short prep time and a simple baking process, this tart is perfect for those who want to satisfy their sweet tooth in a hurry. The crustless version is a unique take on the traditional tart and is a great option for those who can't eat or don't want to make a traditional crust.

Instructions

4.	Add the eggs, sugar, vanilla essence, melted butter, salt, and cinnamon, whisking until well combined.
5.	Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
6.	Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden on top.
7.	Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before serving chilled or at room temperature.
