"When is a Bakewell Tart not a Bakewell Tart is a question often asked? When it is a Bakewell Pudding. I can say that even in Bakewell, the town of origin for the tart and pudding, opinion is divided and no doubt whatever I say, someone will argue it is the other. One of the easiest ways to differentiate is a Bakewell Pudding is made with puff pastry and the Bakewell Tart, shortcrust. Bakewell is in the picturesque Peak District of Derbyshire. Throughout the town there are Bakewell Tart, or Bakewell Pudding shops, all claiming to be the one and the original. It's quite funny. It is so easy to make a Bakewell pudding. The pudding makes a delicious dessert and though it can be eaten as an afternoon treat, usually that will be a Bakewell Tart. Serve the pudding hot or slightly warm to enjoy the full almondy flavour. Note: The filling of this tart contains no flour instead uses ground almonds...."
