I have fond memories of a Butterscotch Tart from your time at the Lygon Arms. Any chance of the recipe?

No problem. The recipe came from Sharrow Bay in fact. I empoyed their pastrycook at one point and was happy to assimilate quite a few of their puds.
Butterscotch Tart
150gr short pastry
250gr demerara sugar
250gr butter
1 cup water
2 tablespoons plain flour
4 tablespoons cornflour
1 tin condensed milk
2 eggs - separated into yolks and whites
150ml double cream
cinnamon and grated chocolate
Preheat the oven to 180C
Line a flan ring with the pastry and bake blind
Heat the demerara sugar - allow it to start to burn then add the butter and let these two boil together briefly
In a separate saucepan mix the condensed milk with flour and cornflour. Heat together until thickened and cooked
Pour on the sugar and butter syrup and stir to the boil
Stir in egg yolks then sieve the butterscotch mix into the precooked tart case. Allow to cool
In separate bowls whisk the egg whites and cream then fold one into the other.
Sprinkle cinnamon and grated chocolate on top
points to watch
This is fairly straightforward to make but creates a lot of washing up in the process. Use a non stick pan to cook the condensed milk and flour together and stit constantly, it will almost certainly catch bit anyway but this wont matter
You needn't let the demerara sugar burn if you like the butterscotch really sweet. T
I dont put any dried beans on pastry when baking blind so need to press down the pastry midway through baking.
