I've already made a bakewell tart once, from Gregg Wallace's recipe, no less, and it came out tasting like sweet scrambled eggs. It would be a shame to waste so much work and a good half a kilo of rhubarb for sweet-rhubarb-scrambled eggs, right? But I still wanted to try it.<br /><br />The result? This recipe IS a winner, hands down. It tastes like the favourite comfort food of the god of pastries. I literally couldn't believ how well it turned out. With a good pot of tea I could probably eat the whole pan all by myself :D<br /><br />Two things, though. I cut down the amount of sugar I put in with the rhubarb, only adding 40 g. And it was plenty, any more would have been way too sweet. The pastry and frangipane are very sweet by themselves, so I wanted the rhubarn to provide a nice contrast. And the frangipane was definitely wobbly after 45 minutes in the oven, the toothpick just wouldn't come out clean. I ended up baking the tart for well over an hour.morrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-39949761622614470402012-05-24T21:10:14.521+01:002012-05-24T21:10:14.521+01:00This looks incredible!!! *drool*This looks incredible!!! *drool*Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648895688162284839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-31910604683485011492012-05-23T07:05:42.990+01:002012-05-23T07:05:42.990+01:00A big thank you for sharing this recipe, I made th...A big thank you for sharing this recipe, I made the tart at the weekend & it was delicious, what a great flavour combo.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15040494270138824800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-85034118035052131602012-05-08T16:53:11.972+01:002012-05-08T16:53:11.972+01:00What a great idea.
