The DnA Foodcast goes south next week. Like, about as far south as we can go without being attacked by penguins. Next week’s episode was demanded by South African native Ludwig K. and we really couldn’t help but try it. This recipe comes in two parts. You can skip the first by buying a pie crust from the store, but as we prove in this episode, it’s way easier than you think to make it on your own.

Hardware: A Pyrex pie pan. Pie tin. Or something circular to make a pie.

Ingredients Crust:

• 2 cups flour
• An egg
• 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• A stick of butter. That’s 8 tbl or 125 grams.

Ingredients pie:

• 4 1/2 cups milk
• 2 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 1/2 tbsp flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp butter
