Baking Challenge

Bakewell Tart

Have fun giving your creation a name and please describe your recipe.

Bakewell Tart Bites

Tell us about your pastry dough and final texture after baking. Are you happy with it?

Good! Nice and crisp due to a short pre-bake before filling. No soggy bottoms!

Detail how you added a Wisconsin twist to your flavors or presentation.

Over the last week I harvested wild black raspberries from the bushes in my backyard and ended up with enough to incorporate into my frangipane and peach jam! (MANY mosquitoes were harmed in the preparation of this dish.)

How did you do?

Absolutely lovely.
