- Finally, you pour the milk in and pulse until the dough loosens from the wall.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and make a flat disc. Pack in a plastic wrap and put it 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Spread the dough on the tart tin bottom and sides (diameter 10 inch - 26 cm), and afterward, put it in the fridge for half an hour.

NOTES
1. Dulce de leche: Make this Dulce de Leche recipe yourself from condensed milk.
2. Cool: The dough does not expand in the oven by cooling the dough in between.
