![]() ![]() The pastry still puffed up! Once I took the rice out and put the crust back in for the last five minutes, the edges of the pastry really shrunk, so I think next time I won’t trim it as much. I really need to go buy some pie weights (maybe I will today) because it’s such a waste of rice and I don’t think I use enough rice to begin with (because I don’t want to waste it… what a vicious cycle). Also, 200 degrees C is about 395 degrees F, when you’re doing your blind bake. I wasn’t sure if I should grease the fluted dish or not, so I did lightly with some butter, just in case. so in North America, I would say that’s about two quarters.

Once I left the jam to set and get gelly, I started on the pastry. ![]() For “jam sugar” I just used Instant Dissolving Sugar from a bulk foods store and it worked just fine.

This recipe requires you to make jam and it is soooo easy! I recommend making it and not using store bought because store bought can be chunky (which is great on toast) but you want it to be smoother for the Bakewell Tart. My scale came with a faulty battery and it took me FOREVER to measure everything. I finally bought a food scale the other day! I decided that since so many of the reviews I do use mass as the form of measurement, I should probably get with the program and buy a scale to do everything properly.

Because my Bakewell Tart from Mary Berry sure is ugly! Keep on reading to hear about the process of making this thing and also to see a hilarious photo (I put it strategically at the end so you if you don’t scroll all the way down, you don’t have to see it). I think? Just keep an open mind and don’t judge a tart by it’s photo. But that’s part of the fun of doing these reviews. Once you have removed the tart from the oven, pipe the icing over the top, giving an informal zig zag effect.Well, this didn’t turn out quite as I expected.
