Bakewell Slice, a regional bake from Derbyshire in the UK

Yes. Perfect. Hand creaming the butter and sugar is key so as to not incorporate air in the frangipane keeping the Bakewell tart a bit dense and decadent. Just like mum’s. Thank you so much for the video, and the tip on the proper consistency of the frangipane.

[@jonhilderbrand4615]

Your comment @5:10 reminds me, I made a shortbread for the first time a few days ago, and while I had the recipe printed from their website (not this one, sorry!), the visuals were from a YT Short, which, of course, was heavily edited. It was quite a simple recipe, pretty much all done in a stand mixer, but the printed instructions did not say anything about the length of time it would take to mix after the ingredients reached the "breadcrumb" stage. I stood there and watched as the paddle spun round and round for what seemed like 10 minutes or so, and it did nothing! I was in the middle of asking what I might have done wrong in the video comments section when the mixer rpm's suddenly decreased noticeably. I looked over and lo and behold, it had gone from breadcrumbs to dough in literally just a few seconds! They were delicious! I am looking forward to trying this recipe out. Love your channel, my friend!

I'm normally very critical of baking programmes as some of them say silly things in their title like "this is so good you'll make it every day" . So many recipes use boxed or sachets or tinned (although the latter is not so bad} items. You also use metric measurements like an international community should. I could find no fault with your recipes and will be subscribing and using them in future.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Great idea!

[@Infiniti25]

That is the one thing I despise going into these slices and was pleasantly surprised it wasn’t shoehorned into this local delicacy. I’m from a town not too far from Sheffield which borders with Derbyshire. Desiccated coconut has a horrible habit of hanging around to be chewed for hours after the item has been eaten. I’d rather have steak fat stuck between my teeth than have desiccated coconut hanging around and I really dislike steak fat in my teeth. Thank you Mr Paul for keeping the recipe original and simple.

Hello Rodney, I've recently started a Facebook Group specially for Pie Lovers and so I'm in the middle of re-vamping my website Pastry recipe pages.

[@Infiniti25]

So I made this a few nights back and it is delicious! Definitely tasted and felt authentic, I stuck with raspberry jam because I knew I was going to be sharing it to someone who once had a bad reaction in childhood which was possibly strawberry related. One issue I had was with the creaming the butter and sugar together in the bowl. I had left the butter out on the counter for 24 hours so it wasn’t cold, I also don’t have white sugar so used a coarse Demerara sugar in exchange. I found that I couldn’t cream them together, even after 5-10minutes of trying to press the sugar into the butter and press the butter into the side of the bowl to allow it to “accept” the sugar. Would I be right in assuming I can lightly cook the butter in the microwave without any negative effect on the mix? My Bakewell filling didn’t set properly after cooking as advised, even after repeated additional sessions in the oven while preheating for other items or when I cooked part baked bread it still had a stodgy greasy look to it. I doubt that is normal and was due to my failure to properly cream the mixture at the beginning? Any suggestions because I’m going to attempt this again in a few days.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Firstly you'll never be able to crean butter and coarse Demerara sugar. Secondly if you heat up the butter to melting oponte your finished cale will be very greasy. Baking is a science and you must stick to the formula (Recipe) unlike cooking which is an art, when you can taste and add more salt, etc. You need to stick to the recipe when baking, that's why we either test recipes before publishing them or give you a recipe that we've use for years.

[@Infiniti25]

@@MrPaulsPantry thanks! It’s all I had to hand and I really wanted to make it. It tasted delicious and it didn’t fall to pieces, but it was greasy looking when it came out and I cut into it despite the top being like in the video.

Just noticed around the 9:30 mark you say “remember it’s all 125g, the sugar and the butter”. Is the description wrong or the video audio?

[@MrPaulsPantry]

As the video is unscripted it'¡s always best to check the written recipe which is always underneath the video and usually on my website as well. These are checked 3 times before publishing so it's a fair bet they will be correct. Once the video is edited it's not possible to change anything without re-shooting that part and using more ingredients. Sorry for any inconvenience,

[@Infiniti25]

@@MrPaulsPantry no problem, I’ve been following the video description but the audio caught me off guard so I thought I’d check. I’m guessing you used margarine in the video because now I have castor sugar I still can’t get it to cream, although it was a lot better mixed than with the coarse Demerara sugar. I suspect also it could be related to ambient temperature in your kitchen being a lot higher than here in the UK so it’s already like a sloppy block rather than the same rigidity as it leaves the fridge. I did remove it overnight again so it was room temperature. Anyway, this is my second attempt and the pastry was my strong point today 🙈 Into the oven it goes 😎
