They look amazing, Rik. As I am now retired (71) i am following my passion for cooking and baking. Your videos are an inspiration for me. I love your pies. Ive recently made your cheese, ham and beans (and pineapple) slices: they went down a treat. I'm also in the process of getting together the ingredients for your delicious looking pork pie. Christmas may never be the same, if it turns out well. We usually use our excellent, local pork butcher, but maybe your recipe will turn out to be a winner.

What is bakers shortening? Or is it a butter lard mix? Because that's what my old nan used and I'm 65
@BackyardChef7 ай бұрын
Baker's shortening is a type of fat used in baking, typically made from vegetable oils. It is known for its ability to create a tender and flaky texture in baked goods such as pies, pastries, and biscuits. Unlike butter or margarine, baker's shortening doesn't contain water and has a higher melting point, which helps in maintaining the texture of the dough during the baking process. It's also used to achieve a crumbly texture in items like shortbread, and because it's flavour-neutral, it doesn't impart any additional taste to the finished product. Baker's shortening can be a preferred choice in certain recipes where the presence of dairy is to be avoided or where a very specific texture is desired. Best, Rik

These are not the Bakewells I recall; I’d call them Manchester tarts but hey I’m often wrong. Yes, there is a Mr Kipling version vaguely like this but his cakes were never exceedingly good just exceeding tiny and disappointing. The poor quality synthetic flavours used back then have a lot to answer for: many people are convinced that they don’t like marzipan, almond or Bakewells because of them, likewise strawberry (cheap yoghurt) or mint (garden peas). Whatever, for me the frangipani is topped with a scattering of flaked almonds, not icing and a glacé cherry. Each to his own I guess. Rik you’ll know that a Bakewell pudding is something entirely different and distinct. After you’re done with the best old school recipes perhaps you’ll show us some old-school regional recipes? Or historical ones? Of late I’ve been reflecting on just how fondly people remember the best of mass catering post WWll up until around 1980. It’s remarkable given how poor the reputation of much British cooking was back then. Clearly not always deserved.

Best wishes to all.
