Cooking Gypsy Tart with Blighter

blighter · 15 Dec 2007 at 22:32

Gypsy Tart is a LOVELY cake that is rarely heard of outside of Kent. So I thought I would share the delight with you all!

All you need is a tin of Evaporated Milk (~400g), 350ish grams of Dark Muscovado Sugar, and a pastry base.

Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 6

Pour the Evaporated Milk and the Sugar into a large bowl, and whisk for 10 minutes until coffee-coloured and a 'sticky' texture. (electric whisk unless you've been using those PowerBalls for a few hours a day!)

Now, pour the mixture into the Pastry case and stick in the oven for around 10 minutes. This should thicken the mixture inside the case and make a lovely cake!

Enjoy!

(Just made one and will post pics later)

edit: NOT CONDENSED MILK YOU TWALLOPS!

that sounds so simple. Will have to give this a try. condensed milk is so useful.

Nah, just didn't have time

Glaucus · 15 Dec 2007 at 22:48

ready made pastrys so good, it's not really worth making your own. unless you want something a bit different.

So where's the pics?

I take it the mix sets solid?

evaporated and condensed are more or less the same, just one's a completly different texture, taste, and smell to the other

Both are awesome variants to the bog-standard cow juice though
