How To Make english bakewell tart..
-
1Pre-heat the oven to 180c/375f. lightly grease with butter or baking spray 8inch spring ring baking tin.
-
2Sieved flour and sugar into a bowl. Rub into that the butter, until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. Then add sufficient water to make a soft dough. -
3Transfer the dough to a lightly flour surface, and lightly knead and smooth out the dough . Roll out and use to line your prepared tin.
-
4Line the pastry case with greaseproof paper, and fill with baking beans to blind bake the pastry . Cooked in a pre-heated @ 180c/375f for 10 minutes. You just want your pastry to have a light pale golden colour .Once finish remove the beans and greaseproof paper.

Sprinkle on top of tart the flake almonds .

7Bake in pre-heated oven @180/375f for 35 minutes if you have a fan oven like I do ,I suggest that you cover the bakewell tart on the last 10 minutes in baking to prevent the top from over browning . When ready the top should be frim (stick test the tart piece the top with a sewer if comes out clean the tart is done) .Leave to cool ,then dust over the top some icing sugar..
