Traditional BAKEWELL Tart DERBYSHIRE UK

[@patriciahancock3081]

Dear Rik, I just love what you’re doing. Your enthusiasm and no fuss attitude never fails to make me smile. The whole family is now subscribed and my youngest son is learning to bake our traditional recipes with glee from watching your videos. He loves to bake and your obvious love of cooking and baking is his inspiration. I now say “ That’s---- made!” every day! Bless you and much continued success from our house!

[@BackyardChef]

Wow, thank you. Give him as much encouragement as possible There is a huge shortage of good bakers. I'm more everything not through choice - through the positions and jobs. I wish you all the very best. Rik

[@trinitywright7122]

Yay!!

[@jeanbrooks1815]

I too love all the traditional recipes you are doing for us. A rare thing nowadays. Keep them coming

[@ResonantSun17]

And the most important thing, don't forget to lick the spoon. Love it Rik. OMG That looks absolutely devine. Take care. Debra xxx

[@BackyardChef]

Ha ha ha always! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@charmaynebruce6215]

We used to fight over that privilege when we were kids; the bowl was the ultimate prize! There were five of us : poor Mum 😅

[@bellabell737]

My favourite tart! Brings back so many memories of summers with my grandmother at her caravan in Saltfleet, Lincs. I used to pray she’d buy a Bakewell at the little bakery in Saltfleet. We always had it with custard. Thanks nana💕 Going to make this today👌

[@BackyardChef]

Oh wow! Great memories. Thank you for sharing. Best, Rik

[@paulcampbell6316]

Mr Kipling has got a run for his money. Exceedingly good tutorial Rik! 😁🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you, Paul. Appreciated. Best, Rik

[@6Inverness]

My English grandmother used to make this tart for special occasions. I have not had one in ages but I might have to make one now. One of my favourites for sure. Thanks Rik.

[@BackyardChef]

Wonderful! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@skeeterinnewjersey5256]

Rik you are just so much fun to watch and cook with. Thanks for bringing joy to my world.

[@BackyardChef]

Wow! That means so much! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@emerald-i5c]

Thanks Rick you are just so good at getting things over without scaring anyone off!!! Love Bakewell tart, and like you I always use almond extract as well as the ground almonds as they aren't really a strong enough flavour on their own. Your pastry never fails and once you can make good pastry the world is your oyster ☺️☺️xx thankyou!

[@BackyardChef]

You are so welcome. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@sarnaseven19]

I just love bakewell tart! Had it for the first time in the UK, and I cannot find it in my country, so had to make it myself. Sometimes they have it at Marks & Spencer, but I can't afford to keep going there for a tart! Yours look so amazing and fluffy, crispy crust, must try this !! 😻

[@BackyardChef]

Hope you enjoy it! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@JanetBrown-px2jn]

I always had about 10 quarts of frangipan on hand in the restaurants I worked in,we used it on the French apple tarts,so every now,and then I made Bakewell tarts for a daily special,but because Americans don’t understand the term Bakewell,I just called them Almond tarts,always with raspberry jam, often home made,and I topped them with sliced almonds.I usually served them with a few raspberries on the plate,and homemade ice cream.Bakewell was something my Mom made often,and one of my favorite tarts.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you for sharing, Janet. Loved reading this. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@AZ-Sharon]

You continue to open my world with British cuisine! That was perfect! Do you mess anything up?🤣

[@BackyardChef]

I'm sure some real baking type folks will say this is messed up - however they can I enjoyed it with a cup of tea. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@77ncf77]

Not only are your recipes superb, but I love how you improvise ingredients, using whatever you have at hand in your fridge or pantry. I love almond cakes, and this tart will go nicely with tea or coffee. Thanks for another great recipe. 👍 ❤ good blessings for you and your family

[@BackyardChef]

Appreciated, that means a lot! Helps other too and that's what this channel is about. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@harmoniefaerielove]

The addition of the SF flour in the mix is simply a genius idea.... This will be getting made in the next day or so ... I find that cherry jam, goes amazingly well with the Almond flavour ... But that's just me. Ta Rik . 🙏.

[@BackyardChef]

Yes I agree with the cherry jam, lovely! Just that little SF flour turns this dish on its head - makes it a lovely cake. Dessert. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@patriciagoulter]

Looks fabulous - we don't use shortening as a rule here in New Zaaland. We have a thing called Kremelta which is melted to make Rice Krispies. I always laugh that the home cook aspires to make something that is shop bought, and the shop aspires to "home made".

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@Sharon-bo2se]

Haven't had that in donkeys years. Now I know what I will make for the next coffee date with my friends. That look and chortle of glee and delight makes your videos fun and encourages people to get in the kitchen.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

So a Bakewell tart is really a big Mazarin with a thin jam layer! I never knew, but now I know that I’ll love it!!!

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@davidmurphy816]

Gosh you’ve got my mouth watering again Rik, & by the looks of things & judging by your reaction, I’m not alone!🤭😁 Haven’t baked one for a long time as now live alone, but home made Bakewell Tart is so much more delicious than the shop bought variety. Thanks as always for sharing Rik & have a great weekend xx 👨‍🍳🥧👌😋😍

Ha ha 😂...."don't forget to lick that spoon..." Love that! Love the authenticity. Great one, Rik.

[@BackyardChef]

Always! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@richardpeddie2060]

It's not that 'authentic' Bakewell Tart is a 20th Century American Creation, Bakewell Pudding is a 19th Century English creation

[@BackyardChef]

@@richardpeddie2060 You are so wrong and I'm so pleased you have made this comment - Bakewell pudding comes before bakewell tart however No, the Bakewell tart is not an American creation; it originates from the town of Bakewell in Derbyshire, England. It's a traditional English dessert that consists of a shortcrust pastry shell beneath layers of jam, frangipane, and a topping of flaked almonds. This dessert is closely related to the Bakewell pudding, which shares a similar location and flavour profile but has a different texture and preparation method. Do yourself a favour and do a straightforward Google search - Even Google, which is American, will tell you it's not. Thank you. Best. Rik

[@sarahbee.geteria]

@@richardpeddie2060 I was actually making reference to Chef Rik's AUTHENTICITY. His persona! As for the bakewell tart, authentic or not, it came out brilliantly. It's not always about replicating well known recipes to the letter T, but taking on said recipe(s) and giving it/them one's own signature character and/or personality. Constant evolution, I say.

[@thewaythingsare8158]

Apricot jam is really nice with almond. My Gran always used apricot so i can't have it any other way

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@pixie3760]

I'm making this for tomorrows afternoon tea, and I've decided this will make a perfect extra dessert for Christmas day. I haven't had this since I was last in England about 15 years ago. They're not sold here in Australia unfortunately, and I've never seen a recipe for it before .thanks Rik

[@BackyardChef]

Glad I could help! Hope you enjoy. Love down under as always. Best, Rik

[@glynislailann9056]

Thank you so much for reminding all of us & teaching us, of old time classic favourites. Love your teaching style. The South African store bought Bakewell Tart I remember was covered with white glace icing which had chocolate drizzles & a glace cherry in the middle. I have tried to make this tart on many occasions. Some recipes called for crumbled up Madeira Cake.

[@BackyardChef]

The cherry Bakewell's are on this channel too. Love to SA. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@lizhannah8412]

Another winner for me. As you know I've made your shortcrust pastry. It's hard to beat. I love all your recipes. Savoury and sweet.

Love a homemade Bakewell Tart

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

That looks amazing and delicious. I love that yellow colour of the frangipane. I could just eat some now with a cup of tea. A great cake to make with children. Licking the spoons and having fun with the icing sugar. 😂. Thanks Rik.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you, Jenny. Yes I have always licked the spoons right back when watching mum bake all those years ago. She always let us kids. As you see still do - never get ill either. The world has changed and most folks will not even dare. Best, Rik

[@jennyt966]

@BackyardChef yes. I used to lick the spoon when my mum baked too. The good old days.

[@BackyardChef]

@@jennyt966 Yes very good old day! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@istudios225]

Love Bakewell Tart. Haven't made this for a while, Rik, so thanks for reminding me what a great dessert it is

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

My mother used to make small versions of this in a tart tray similar to a cupcake tray but shallower. Lovely

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@allenbrown8158]

A clever trick with the almond extract, as ground almonds ae now quite expensive. well done Rik

[@BackyardChef]

Thanks mate. Best, Rik

[@lyndseybeaumont7301]

Omg! Bakewell is probably my go to dessert. I love it and don’t care if it’s got flour in, ground almonds or what! I’d eat it all up regardless. That actually looks completely perfect to me Rik. Pass it over man! Giz a bite lol xxxx

[@BackyardChef]

Ha ha ha. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@terryt.1643]

I have read about the tart in novels, but always wondered what it was. Your recipe sounds wonderful! Thanks.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@jeansdaughter]

Important to note with the pastry that different flours in different environments require different amounts of water. Eggs also vary. If the mix needs more water you can always add a little more while bringing it together.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@74yodinosaur99]

I spread Damson jam then cover the base with Glace cherries before filling with frangipane. It's really special and everyone loves it.

[@BackyardChef]

Sounds great! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@normalovell-w8v]

Rik have you tried it with a bit of vanilla ice cream while it's still warm-HEAVEN-and then it's still fantastic on it's own when it's cool! And then there's custard when it's warm, I'm becoming boring - official member of the Bakewell Tart fan club cos I married a Derbyshire guy-I'll shut up now keep giving us great recipes❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you, Gill. I'm not sure either to be honest. Both can be eaten with a cup of tea and both with custard. The sponge more with custard than the Bakewell. It's tough! Best, Rik

[@jamesgoacher1606]

I don't like almonds which gives me a problem with Bakewell Tarts. Except for one time many years ago when I had a Tart in a Tea Shop situated just on the left hand side of the road from Matlock, in the Derbyshire Town of Bakewell. From memory there was a sort of triangular shaped area on the opposite side of the road. It turned out to be a Bakewell Tart and it was delisious. I could not believe that it was so different from every other one I had tasted and had been unable to finish. I am going to try this, a small onem to give it another go.

My English great-grandmother (born in the 1870s) made tartlets with raspberry jam, cake and frosting that she decorated every Christmas. She called them Marguerites. We looked forward to them every year. Bakewell tarts are the closest thing I have come across. Have you ever heard of these?

[@BackyardChef]

I have indeed! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@sbender3787]

What are the differences between the bakewell tart and the Marguerite? I still have some of her tart tins. I have her recipes for egg tarts and mincemeat. They are hand written in a 1913 Five Roses cookbook.
