Bakewell Pudding

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Bakewell Pudding -- often called Bakewell Tart --- is a traditional dessert or cake, made with almonds, associated with the town of Bakewell, Derbyshire, England.

There are two Pudding Shops in Bakewell, with other shops selling the confection. The recipe remains a secret, though the whole thing was created by accident when a noblemen visiting the White Horse Inn at Bakewell, ordered strawberry tart. The cook, instead of stirring the egg mixture into the pastry, spread it on top of the jam. (visit the Bakewell Pudding Shop Website from the link below)

There has been some dispute over ownership of the recipe - however both shops sell a delicious confection which is exclusive to the beautiful Peak District town of Bakewell.
