Yorkshire curd tart is a traditional teatime food, best served with a proper cup of strong Yorkshire tea. This recipe is from Stephen Taylor at the Bondgate Bakery in Otley, Yorkshire.

Watch Stephen from the bakery rustle up the recipe.

Makes an 8 inch tart

Ingredients

  • 7 oz curds or ricotta cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 3.5 oz sugar
  • 1tsp of lemon juice
  • 4 oz currants
  • Pinch of nutmeg

Method: How to make Yorkshire curd tart

1. Cream the margarine and the sugar together. Gently fold in the curds (or ricotta if using), add currants, nutmeg and lemon juice. If you want to give the mixture added depth, pop it in the fridge for an hour or so.

2. Roll out short crust pastry and fit into 8 inch flan tin. Spoon in the curds mixture. Bake in the oven at 200˚C for around 25 -30 mins.

  1. As well as there being no measurement for margarine, in the method there is no use of the eggs.

  2. Re. Yorkshire curd tart. I am very interested in the above and when I read the instructions on making it the first instruction is "CREAM MARGARINE AND SUGAR" Yet your list og ingreadients does not include any margarine or butter. I assume this anerror in the ingreadients. How much margarine is required.?
