Hi Everybody!!
I am a 14 year old boy, and what can I say, I love my food! lol! :)
I have wanted the recipe for butterscotch tart for years and finally got the chance to ask the school chef for it.
And I was dead excited and tried it out and it was perfect, as me and my auntie have been looking for it for years.
Its exactly the same as primary school and still delicious as ever.
Here it is:
BUTTERSCOTH TART RECIPE:
SERVES 16 (Serves 16 because used in school but who cares, I could eat 16 pieces of this yummy desert!)
Pie crust:
459g plain flour
120g margarine
120g lard
50ml water
Add flour to a big mixing bowl, break up margarine and lard into flour and rub in until it resembles breadcrumbs, then add water and bring to dough, tip: add a bit of water at a time, otherwise it could go to wet and runny.
Prick the bottom of the crust to bake blind, allow cooling before adding the filling.
Filling:
230g margarine
230g plain flour
230g sugar
10g butterscotch essence
10g vanilla essence
150ml milk
Melt margarine, sugar in pan, and mix together. (I used a double boiler)
Add flour cook through.
Put all in mixing bowl and mix in essences and milk
Mix until thick and creamy
Spread over cooled pastry and chill for 1 hour
I served this with whipped cream and grated chocolate.
