5. Toffee Tart
When i was at the primary school age i always remember loving the school dinner desserts- i'm not sure why, they weren't particulaly amazing or imaginative but i just loved them. Alongside the cornflake and jam tart and chocolate crunch, i always loved toffee tart that had diagonal lines of chocolate sprinkles and coconut on top. While reminiscing about such things with friend at uni, i was chuffed to find that she actually knew what i was talking about and, more excitingly, had a recipe for it! She gave me the recipe on a postcard and rather than type it out i thought it'd be nice to share it how i recieved it!
It was a pretty simple recipe, despite requiring a little bit of guessing! I used a 25x18cm tin which the pastry filled just about perfectly. When it came to the filling, after following all of the steps, i did heat up a bit more milk with a smidgen of sugar to whisk in as i felt there wouldn't be quite enough to fill the case. But with another 4fl.oz-ish of milk, it was just the right amount to fill the tart case. A nice little nostalgic recipe to have in the books!
for the toffee tart filling is it plain flour or self raising flour?
ReplyDeleteSorry to be slow in replying, I've only just found your comment! The recipe uses plain flour, but you might have tried and tested that for yourself by now!
