* 2oz margarine (didn't even need butter to get a good taste)
* 2oz caster sugar
* 1 beaten egg
* 2 oz ground almonds
* 1 tsp baking powder
* jam (I used raspberry, but there wasn't quite enough, so one corner had a bit of strawberry in!)
* flaked almonds (should have gone on top but I didn't have any, and am being frugal so didn't buy some specially!).
* Beat together marg. and sugar.
* Beat in egg.
* Beat in almonds and baking powder
* Line the tin with a piece of pastry (DON'T stretch it, or it will shrink - I learnt this the hard way)
* Spread jam over the bottom of the pastry
* Cover with almond/marg/sugar/egg mixture
* Bake in pre-heated oven at 180C for about 30 minutes or until done.
Oh I could really go for a slice of that as I have a pot of tea brewing at the moment! The other day there was a show on featuring the town of Bakewell, it looked gorgeous. I'm off to check my English recipe book for this one, although, your version comes highly recommended by Ken it would seem!
ReplyDeleteOoooh Bakewell tarts are my local pudding up home (am from Derbyshire) but never in my life have I baked one... now I just might!
ReplyDeleteDarlene - I've never been to Bakewell but would love too.
ReplyDeleteSimon - isn't there also a bakewell pudding? It's quite easy to make, once you've got the pastry in the dish!
Ooh I love bakewell tart - this looks delicious!
