I love to bake but it doesn't seem to love me Hmmbut I'm still trying and I've set my sights on making a bake well tart. I found a recipe on BBC good food, has any one tried this? Or does anyone have any good tips that will help make its success?

I've done it with success. If you can't be bothered to make the pastry (easy if you have a food processor, time consuming without) bought pastry is fine.
Use plenty of jam.

I've also done to BBC Bakewell cake which is lovely.

My DS loves making Bakewell tart!

He uses the Mary Berry recipe (GBBO fan).

It's simple enough for an 11 year old to make alone (although he struggles to get the pastry to fit the case;that's a work in progress :) )

It goes lovely and chewy when it's cold. No idea if its meant to but I'm not complaining :)

I use the Mary Berry and its super easy and not yet gone wonky.

I am generous on the jam.

Yes I always try to encourage DS to put a bit more jam on but having AS he's a bit of a stickler for recipe accuracy Hmm

Pancakeflipper · 05/07/2013 10:36

Mary does say be generous with the jam ( I love Mary).

CalamityKate · 05/07/2013 11:05

Ooh does she? In that case he's decided for himself what the definition of generous is!

Pancakeflipper · 05/07/2013 11:08

Ha ha !

Impressed he can bake it. I know it's easier than it looks to make that one but still needs time and concentrated. Very yummy too.

Brill do you know if the Mary one is online?

Oh god if your DS can do it and I fail then ill be out to shame Grin
