Hello Diane, Just a thought i noticed the reciepe says to use a Food Processor, But i thought this seemed strange, so i watched the program again and noticed that in fact they used a Food Mixer to get the sugar and butter to a light creamy texture not a food processor, also noticed when putting the creamed mixture into the tart case the chef did not use all the mixture which is why it took longer then 40min to cook, also took me a further 12 /15 min but it was nice, good luck next time Leona
PS;I think the method was typed out wrong !
