Cookie cutters
I bought a useful set of cookie cutters yesterday so I can make tarts a little bit easier. And how better to try them out with than with these Jane Grigson bakewell tarts?
The sweet shortcrust pastry is 6 oz flour, 3 oz butter, 1 oz sugar. Here my cookie cutters come into play. Unfortunately a cookie cutter isn’t a lot of use if, like me, you’re useless at rolling out pastry.
After cooking for about 25 minutes:
Hmmm … slightly undercooked inside as you can see. As for the taste, I think that a little bit of almond essence wouldn’t have gone amiss.
Having said all that, I’ve eaten three of these today.

To Miki,
When I’m feeling hungry. Like now!
Actually I’ve got a whole list of hundreds of recipes that I haven’t tried yet. The problem usually is finding the ingredients (good meat and vegetables) because there are very few good food shops in England.

Today I think I’m going to try a bread and butter pudding. That’s because I happen to have lots of stale white bread lying around from Monday.
