Hi Folks, On yesterdays show, Jeni mentioned Sophies Butterscotch Tartlets and how fantastic they are. Does anyone have the recipe. It's from her book "Ingredients" which apparently is no longer in print.

HI

I'd love to have that recipe too. DONT follow the one someone posted for me a few weeks ago, I did it yesterday and it doesn't set, the method is wrong! (the header was Butterscotch tart anyone?)

I've trawled in the internet and found a few, but they're complicated with sieving the mixture and beating eggs to make a kind of custard... I'm sure our school cooks didn't have time to do all that. There was one from Kingston school kitchens on their school web page but I didn't keep a note of the address.

I wonder if your old school recipe was Gypsy Trt, cheekygirl. That's very easy - must use Muscovado sugar though, or it won't set.

aaah, I knew there was a secret! I've tried demarara and dark brown soft sugar, but I need to add about 4 heaped tbsp flour to get it to become thick enough to sit in a pastry case. You wouldn't happen to have a recipe for Gypsy tart would you PLEAAAASE?

Duh, have just scrolled down and found that someone else has been discussing it too, sorry ...have now founf teh recipe at the Foody.com too.
