As a mancunian definitely a favourite dessert. At school it was made with sliced bananas over the jam under the custard. We had chocolate sprinkles sometimes instead of coconut

Mr. Paul. my youngest loves custard, and she is excited for me to make this "just for her, she says!" Much respect!

Great recipe and video Mr Paul, takes me right back to the 70s and my favourite school pudding. You are correct about bananas as when we had it at school there was always sliced bananas on top of the jam. Great that you make the custard without eggs, so much better. Thank you, i will be doing this from now on 👏🏻👏🏻

Hank you Mr. Paul, I’ve been watching you for a while now and I’m really enjoying your recipes, they remind me of my mum and dad’s cooking. I’m born in Manchester but have lived in Australia for 64years now. I’m 67 this year so was very young when we immigrated here. I love plain, easy meals and I’ve been making a few of your meals. I’m going to make your Bakewell Slice and your Manchester Tart too, sometime this week. I’ve attempted Yorkshire pudding before and toad in the hole, cos my mum used to make both but I’m afraid my Yorkshire puddings are not very nice. I watched you making it the other day and now I’m going to have a go when I take my beef out of the freezer, yum, yum, yum, I can’t wait and I’m hoping it works as I really love Yorkshire pudding. I don’t normally comment but thought I would today, just to let you know I’m here watching. Thank you for your videos Mr. Paul, I’m really enjoying watching them and I can’t wait for you to put more videos on KZfaq. Have a great week.

I never knew that cling film could go into the oven!! Thanks for the education!!

Like you I'd never heard of Manchester tarts, we never had it at school and it was only when a friend made one that I tried it, I've since tried it over and over because it's so lovely! lol I had never heard of a cornflake tart either and they're really popular as well. However, I'm eyeing your lemon meringue which is my all time fave, I just love anything lemony, love a lemon posset too and they're so easy to make. Thanks for your videos, the cheese and onion pasties were great!

Another one I love. Thank you Mr Paul.

This is great! and explained so well. Thank you Mr. Paul . You are appreciated!🥰

I don't think I've ever had one before but I'll definitely have a go as I love pastry, jam and custard - thank you! :)

Worth watching your amazing baking video..very much reality 😍👍

🇬🇧🤤 Hello Paul, I'm a Cumbrian, but I do love a Manchester tart, my first few I bought from Spar, but I've been to Lancaster, Blackpool & in to Manchester city center, & I've always got to have one with a cuppa tea, maybe i get a few more for later or even the day after. 🤤😋

Looks lovely. Thank you for sharing.

This was a staple for me growing up in liverpool my mum made this every other sunday and she used bananas😝. LOVE YOUR NO NONSENSE COOKING.

I for some reason thought that the coconut on top was toasted lightly before adding but I could be remembering wrong from my school days, got to admit though it was always my favourite pudding at school. Thanks for bringing back the memories. 🙂👍

Even for me, You always make it look so easy to do & understand .... Thanksss so much for the Greeeeat Video :)

I will definitely be making this as it takes me back to my school days and it was my favourite ! We did have bananas at the base of the one we had in school so I shall add those . 🥰

Yummy, thank you for sharing, think I will have a go 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

Full watch your wonderful video thanks for sharing 😍

Great tip for making custard ..never knew it was that simple ...you are a mind of information..My mother use to call it * Dislocated coconut * bless her

I baked your Manchester Tart this afternoon and it turned out really well!! My crust is a bit too thick but never mind. Thank you Mr Paul.

Thanks for manchester tarts.

I always add banana. Thank you for the info about custard powder, as an ex pat these types of types are always invaluable

I would at least double wrap the plastic wrap. Also, it's easier to make a 2x sheet and make it meet in the middle and twist it and use a twist tie from a loaf of bread. Large coffee filters work good too.🤠👍

My favourite school pud. Yummy! 😋👍🌟

looks very nice

Yummy tried to shortbread it was delicious, making this for my family to

Greetings from North Pole Alaska. In the States we leave off the jam, and if bananas are added, we call it banana cream pie. Cut me a slice I want to try it!

Very nice. Always yummy. But what can I use in place of lard. I've got just flour and margarine. Thanks

I love Manchester tart but for me it has to have banana, "It's the way I was brung up" lol

Can you please give recipe for custard WITH eggs? Thanks!

A beautiful simple and perfect recipe. Love the coconut and glacé cherry garnish! Please Mr. Paul could you do a recipe video for Bath water biscuits? They are my favorite. Thank you.

👍👍👍

Hi Mr. PAUL, just wondering does the custard mixture go on warm, or cold

I don't ever remember eating Manchester tart as a kid and as soon as you added dessicated coconut I knew why. I remember eating one in the last 10 years not knowing what I was buying and I took one bite and gave it away. I also don't remember whether there was any banana, I don't think there was because my partner wouldn't have eaten it if it did.

Cling film doesn't melt then. What is flour from mercadona and lidll?

Hello Mr Paul, I’m wondering if I can use real butter instead of margarine, is it ok? Thank you very much.

Mr Paul, do they freeze ok?

Shrewsbury biscuits? Birdy

Baking life is sooooo much easier with an offset spatula.

The one with banana is called Salford tart Manchester tart omits the bananas I think both nice but Manchester tart wins Something to do with ww2 and rations so they couldn’t make with bananas.

Looks yummy but I just can't use lard , can't i just use all butter? .... ewwwww 🙂

Hi sir how are you

Cling film in a heated oven? I must admit that threw me off. Have never seen that before.

I went out with a tart from Manchester. She did not look like that at all.

Sorry but wrong. Coming from a bakery family let me tell u this. Its traditionally used with strawberry jam not raspberry, also it has banana on top of the jam. Black mark for incorrectness.

No banana ? Criminal

👍👍👍
