English Yorkshire Curd Tarts

[@smchas]

Exactly as my Yorkshire grandmother made them. She left all of her tart recipes and I have made them often, but this is not one I have attempted. Watching your vlog has inspired me to dust off her recipes and make a few tarts. Thank you.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Many thanks and also for subscribing too. x

[@jamiecampbell2637]

Oh, yes! My favourite tarts, haven’t had one for a while. I know these will be good because your recipes always are, so looking forward to these as a post Christmas treat. Thank you, Mr Paul.

Just cooked your Apple Frangipane Tart for the 3rd time, so easy, so delicious. I’m looking forward to this one!

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Wonderful, I could just eat some now David but the old blood sugar was a little to high for comfort this morning, shouldn't have tasted that Curt Tart yesterday,

[@judith4985]

These look delicious! I’m going to give them a try. I can remember milk in glass bottles, delivered to our house when I was a child in Ontario, Canada. In the winter the cream would start to freeze slightly and would sit about an inch above the top of the bottle with the little, round cap sitting on the top. There was a special spoon that would fit down the neck of the bottle, and the bowl of the spoon would block the milk from escaping when the cream was poured off. A trip down memory lane!

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Happy days Judith

[@suejackson5023]

Rewatching this and I think it looks wonderful! And thank you for explaining about the milk ans cream. I grew up in a rural area and our milk came either at least an inch if cream at the top. Delicious!

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hi Sue, That's how I remember the milk too. Happy days

I am only in Worcestershire but have never heard of these. Going on my ‘to do’ list for the next time I have some spare shortcrust knocking around.

The curds originally used in Yorkshire curd tarts were not "made from cheese making" but from beastings, which was the rich milk produced at calving time.

[@lw7240]

Hi Mr p, oh I've not heard of curd tarts but I'll give it a go. They sound tasty xxx ❤️ 😘

[@andrewcoates6641]

If you have access to a local dairy herd try to get hold of some of the first milk drawn from a mother cow or collestrum milk immediately after she gives birth ( known in some parts of Yorkshire as beastings, which is a naturally boosted milk that the cows only produce after giving birth) to use just as your recipe but in place of the whole milk.

[@WanderFeetChronicles]

These look absolutely tasty as hell! Will make them shortly me thinks!

[@MrPaulsPantry]

As you live tuther side a thill I'm not sure you're allowed!! Stick to a nice scouse, lol

[@elizabethmason7335]

Good Morning Mr Paul. I will differently try this recipe. Seeing I’m a Yorkshire Lass myself ( Gods own Country ).

[@MrPaulsPantry]

A Yorkshire Lass? You're not telling me you've never made one before!

[@elizabethmason7335]

Never made one 😂. Mr Paul. I’m making your Chicken and Sweetcorn Soup tomorrow. I’m so glad I’ve found you on KZbin Cannot wait for your next Recipe . Take Care.

[@brendarigdonsbrensden.8350]

I have never had one but I will soon xx

[@gerardjohnson2106]

I can not find the standalone pastry recipes on the site. I've seen you make the various pastry crust doughs where you used them but I can't find them without perusing all of the recipes. The curd tart filing looks to be fabulous tasty.

My website home page has a search box top left, type in a dish, ingredient or a word such as pastry: mr-pauls-pantry.com/

[@gerardjohnson2106]

@@MrPaulsPantry : Thank you. There are actually two search fields on the page. I suppose I was using the wrong one because I did find the recipes this goround.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hi Gerard, Yes, sorry. The small one on the right of the page is a Google one which I can't get rid of for some reason. Glad you found the recipes anyway. Thanks for letting me know.

[@ralphrowlands3902]

I love the reason you gave for adding the cream! I’ll have a go at these, they look beautiful. Are they similar to what are sold in Betty’s tea room in York?

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hi Ralph, yes, it's the same traditional Yorkshire recipe that farmers wives made for many years before bakeries started offering them. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, I do appreciate that. For more of my recipes go to my website at : mr-pauls-pantry.com/

[@lauraellen189]

These tarts look lovely! Should the currants be soaked before adding to cheese mixture? I have got to get myself across the pond and to Yorkshire someday! ❤

[@MrPaulsPantry]

No Laura, it's not necessary to soak the fruit fist. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, I do appreciate that. For more of my recipes go to my website at : mr-pauls-pantry.com/

Hi Mr Paul As always your recipes are great. I wonder if you can help me with a recipe. Your barm cakes and bread always turn out great do you have a recipe please for a 700 grams milk loaf I would be grateful. As always enjoy your videos so down to earth. Take care and thanks Sandra

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hello, nice to hear from you. In my UK bakery we made milk loaves for many years but they went out of favour in the mid 1970's and we discontinued them.I do have my old recipe somewhere amongst my old papers and the iconic round tins are long gone. However here is a link to a recipe that sound familiar, it also has a link to the round ridged tins we used to use too. I hope this helps. www.lavenderandlovage.com/2013/01/down-memory-lane-with-my-old-fashioned-milk-loaf-recipe.html

[@peteglazier3827]

@@MrPaulsPantry Thank you so much for sending the recipe it was very kind of you to take the trouble much appreciated. I always make your soft roll barm cakes and always come out absolutely yum yum. I have taken the recipe down and will look forward to making it . I always make my own bread much nicer than shop brought. Once again thank you. Keep safe. Sandra

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Thanks Sandra, you're most welcome.

[@peteglazier3827]

Hi again Mr Paul Just to let you know I have made milk loaf and we are now having it for lunch . It was a success just like all your recipes I have made. The other day I made your every day fruit cake and that always turns how great I love baking cakes and bread so always happy you you make cakes. Keep up the good work . Thanks a lot keep safe and well.Sandra

[@mariac5942]

Thanks for sharing Paul! You don't say how much cream you use?!

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Can't remember without looking it up, but the check my website there is a link under the video (Click show More) sorry but reovering rom a broken neck ay the moment

[@mariac5942]

Dear @@MrPaulsPantry many thanks for your reply, there's no cream in the ingredients list neither in your website, but it's not a big deal... I have added about three tablespoons and the result seems all right! I have made it without fruits as I am trying to copy the recipe of Maids of Honours tarts in Kew, London. Your website is great! Please focus on recovering, and may this be quick and complete!!!

[@MrPaulsPantry]

I don't know where you're looking but I'ne just copped this from my website Ingredients 130 g Short Crust Pastry 1 Pinch Nutmeg. For the filling 200 g Cheese Cottage, Full Fat well drained 40 g Butter Salted , Melted 25 g Sugar 50 g Currants I use golden sultanas as currants are almost impossible to get in Spain 20 g Cream 1 medium Egg Zest of half a lemon Half of the nutmeg. Plus I'm not sure what 'Maids of Honour tarts have to do with 'Yorkshire Curd Tarts' explained please.

[@mariac5942]

@@MrPaulsPantry oh 20gr of cream...I have used 3 tablespoons. Those maids of honours made in London look more similar to the Yorkshire tarts. That's my impression... I will try also the Maids of honours recipe that you have written! Hope you're better!

[@bettyvorley1130]

I can get dry cheese curds in a bag. Would that work in this recipe?

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Yes, absolutely Betty

[@dorothyjacobs294]

Can i use cream cheese instead of cottage cheese as it is not avilable in my country My collegue told me to use Paneer qhuch is Indian cottage cheese.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

No, sorry, neither of those will work, you need cheese curd and most good cheese shops with either have it or get some for you, as All cheese starts life as CURDS & WHEY

[@davidfoster959]

Careful how you say curd tarts! Reminds me when the Half Moon pub at Skidby, just outside of Hull, specialised in Yorkshire Pudding dishes, all delicious. The locals pronounced ‘Toad in the Hole’ like ‘Turd in the hole’. So as a man, who yet has not grown up, I asked the waitress with my Dorset accent impression - for a ‘Turd in the hole’. She wasn’t amused. Hope I haven’t offended anyYorkshire or other people!

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hi David, Yes it was always know as Turd in hold in Yorkshire. Hope you''re both OK give my live to Angela. xx
