Bakewell Pudding on the menu tomo

Did you put a jam or something in the middle Derbyshire? It looks quite pale,

Easy peasey.

If you are using pastry case:

1. Hand roll pastry into a 12 inch long snake.
2. Cut 12 equal discs.
   
3. Roll each disk and stick into your greased muffin tin
4. Prick bases with fork
5. Line with greaseproof paper
6. Weigh the paper down with baking beans
   
7. Bake at 150 until dry looking and slightly coloured

Make the pudding batter:

1. Use electric whisk and beat butter and sugar till pale
2. Add in eggs one at time whilst beating
3. Pour in ground almonds and continue beating
4. Add in final egg yolk
5. Add in almond flavouring and beat in
6. Spread some jam in middle of pastry case
   
7. Pour in baked pastry case
   
8. Bake on low heat again - 150 - until set and risen (about 20 mins or so but keep a look out for them as my oven isn't very reliable so my timing may not be in sync).

Tips

• If baking without pastry case just pour batter straight into greased muffin trays and bake as above.
  
• You may wish to sprinkle some flaked almonds on top of the puds half way through cooking time.
• If you are using molasses sugar or syrup you will get a lovely moist sticky finish

Best wishes

 

Yes you need jam or sometimes I put nutella. It's pale because of the custardy finish due to amount of eggs.

 

Same supermarket bought puff pastry but this time I have made a custard pie using free range eggs.

Ingredients & Method for Custard Pie

1. 8 inch shallow tin
   
2. 1.5 pints whole milk
3. 3 whole eggs
   
4. Sugar to taste (taste the custard before you bake it)
5. Roll the puff pastry and line the tin then bake as for the Bakewell Pud above.
   
6. No need for jam.
7. Just warm milk and hand whisk in eggs and sugar
8. Pour on pastry and slow bake at 150.
9. Put a bowl of water in the oven so the steam keeps the bake moist.

 

They look delicious! I could just eat one with a nice mug of tea.

 

You're a star @Derbyshire thank you

 

I've been making pastry for more years than I care to remember and this is the first time I've ever seen that technique Derbyshire.
What a really smart thing to do - I will remember this for next year's mince pies. No more wasted trimmings,
thank you for that,

Jenny

 

Custard pie , now your talking !

 

Such as shame my other half's on a diet. I'll have to wait until he goes out!

 

You're welcomed!

 

Leave the OH out - give yourself a treat at least

 

Me TWO!

 

Took a large pudding to work and it was gone in under 5 mins with all tucking in.

 

Nice one
