RECIPE

 It
would seem that there a lot of sweet toothers out there.
Requests have come in for Gypsy
Tart, apparantly featured on UK TV recently,
which many of you would like to try but did not catch
the actual recipe.
Gypsy
Tart only requires three ingredients you
can easily pick up from your local supermarket. You
can pick up a pre-cooked pastry case so easily these
days, or pre-rolled sweet / sugar pastry that you just
need to line and bake yourself. If you would like to
be the master of your own fate though and make your
own from scratch see my sweet
pastry recipe and tips
on blind baking.
My
recipe for Gypsy
Tart calls for Muscovado sugar; which
is also called Barbados or moist sugar. It is a British
speciality brown sugar, that is very dark brown and
has a particularly strong molasses flavour. The crystals
are slightly coarser and stickier in texture than "regular"
brown sugar. Normally available as either light or dark
brown muscovado sugar; the darker the colour is, the
more molasses and therefore the stronger the flavour.
If it is too expensive or if you can't get muscovado,
use a good quality dark brown sugar instead.
As
Gypsy
Tart is very sweet, I strongly suggest
serving it with some 'tart' fruits to counter balance
the sweetness and if you are serving cream, leave it
plain or better still try plain, unsweetened yoghurt.
Remember
when baking anything, ovens must always be pre-heated
to allow the foods to start their magical cooking journey
straight away.
