Hey! I'm Alanna - a twenty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a TH-cam video every Tuesday & Friday plus an additional video every Saturday on my Patreon account. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 5:30pm GMT on Twitch.

This will now become one of your go to bakes in your life..your grandchildren will say they love grannies Bakewell Tart😁
😂
"And they'll never know" has been my mantra for most of the 44 years of my marriage! 😄🙄
Well done Alanna, this looked really, really good for your first attempt!
Thanks so much!
Congratulations Alanna, that was one very well baked Bakewell tart and we also got to see a glimpse of your little known & hidden talent for egg yoke juggling to boot. 😁 More baking vide please.
Thanks so much! 😊
Don't know if anyone already posted this tip but an easy way to remove excess pastry that hangs over the edge is to roll the rolling pin across the top of the flan dish and the excess pastry falls away. Loved the video and you did a really good job, the tart look amazing. In my opinion the filling should be very moist in the middle, that's how my mother used to make it.
Some vanilla ice cream or custard with it ,would make it perfect.
The filling was immaculately baked but what really stood out was the audibly crisp pastry, that is not an easy thing to achieve!
As someone from Bakewell, while Bakewell Tarts are great, Bakewell Puddings are the best. They don’t look as appealing but with cream or ice cream, they may well be the best British dessert. But I may be biased 😂😅
I'll try that another time!
You're not biased. I'm not from Bakewell. But Bakewell Puddings are right up there in the puddings chart!
Yes, as an Ashburnian I have to agree, Derbyshire bias maybe, but a real Bakewell pudding is on another lever altogether.....and just one more reason for Alanna to visit our wonderful county. Bakewell Pudding, Ashbourne Gingerbread, Buxton Pudding, Dovedale Blue Cheese, Sage Derby, Derbyshire Stilton, Derbyshire Oatcakes etc. The incredible countryside, our pubs, country walks, Ashbourne Royal Shrovetide Football, Well Dressings, industrial heritage and so, so much more. I know that you have said you would love to visit the Peak District Alanna, you really should, it's not perfect but it has got a lot to offer and both can and will take your breath away....
@@karlharrison6544 So true. I only discovered that oatcakes with an English Breakfast was a Derbyshire thing when I moved away. It’s like a precious secret we haven’t told the rest of the country about!
For someone says they can't cook,you did so well.
If I'd done that I'd have been equally as proud it looked amazing 👏.
I particularly liked the subtle use of the motorbike gloves.
10 out 10 Alanna, great fun vid and a great looking tart.
😎❤✌
Thanks so much!
Too moist? Its called soggy bottom.. Nonetheless what a success especailly as its your first time. Well done. As the saying goes "things can only get better, practice makes perfect.. You have just made my mouth water.. Now where did I put those almonds?
The texture looked spot on to me. I’d say that was an outstanding first attempt. If you find rolling out the pastry difficult you can just put the ball into the tin and push it into shape. The first time I used baking beads I didn’t know you were supposed to line the case with parchment and I had to dig the beads out of the cooked case with a teaspoon.

Hey Alanna. Love your cooking videos and you don't give yourself enough credit for a first time attempt. You do better than so many others. When you get the chance, you really should try a proper, non shop Bakewell Tart, they are gorgeous.
Now I'm hungry for a Bakewell.
Thanks so much!!
@@AdventuresAndNaps I agree with this! A bit of a jaunt from your corner of the country, but Bakewell makes for a nice trip. There are other lovely places nearby so easy to make a day of it.
That looked pretty good for a first attempt.
Fresh baked bakewell tart smells and tastes so good.
Some tips for next time.
When picking up the base to put into the tin just roll it up around the rolling pin and then unroll over the tin.
Trim after the blind bake, it shrinks a little.
A spatula or wooden spoon would have made it easier to cream the butter and sugar together.
Absolutely correct
One tip for the pastry when lining the tart tin. If you leave the extra pastry over the edge of the tin then blind bake it, you can use a knife to trim the extra off once the tin comes out of the oven. You will find that the pastry does not shrink back from the edge of the tin like it does if you trim the extra off before baking it. You will then end up with the pastry to the top of the tin when you fill it and bake it again.
If you can ever manage it, I recommend a trip to the Derbyshire Dales and a visit to the town of Bakewell itself. There are two small bakeries almost directly opposite each other, who both claim to have invented the Bakewell Pudding. Buy one from each of them and decide (if you can) which is best. But don't tell either bakery it's second! :-D
I know Bakewell and Buxton.Buxton for its spa water and Bakewell for its pudding,but everyone says its a tart??
@@seanhopton. Yep. Dunno why. They're puddings. I suppose those variants with icing and a cherry on top (which are anathema to both Bakewell bakeries) could be called tarts.
Brilliant. Nothing like a bit of chaos on a Tuesday afternoon and I need oven gloves like those.🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for watching!
I am currently learning to cook through watching your videos. Now I can add Bakewell tart to my repertoire
Rubbing it in means cutting the butter into little bits spreading it throughout the flour then rubbing the mixture between the thumbs and fingers. One of my few recollections of home economics class at school circa 1983.
That looked stunning! Well done!
A friend of mine used to bake this but alternate the jam/preserve she used. Strawberry, Apricot and even Ginger preserve. She also served it with a dollop Cornish ice cream! I do miss her.....
Those giant oven gloves totally remind me of Uncle Jack from Always Sunny: "Nobody look! Nobody look!"
This was so wholesome, I love seeing people enjoy our food, even better when you make it yourself ^.^
Thanks for watching!
Mum and step dad sell flowers and plants on Bakewell market on a Monday, Bakewells are a thing of wonderment, when I get the chance to I like to greedy a cheeky whole one in. Thanks for the great content.
well done but now you now need to try the traditional bakewell pudding . you need to visit one of the lovely teashops in bakewell in the Peak District . One for your bucket list maybe xx
I did enjoy seeing you with the Bakewell tart. Quick tip for rolling pastry, put some cling film or parchment paper on your bench. Then flour it and roll on top of the film, you can then turn it around to get a constant thickness. It also makes it a lot easer to lift over the tart pan.
Wow Alanna, that looked a nailed-on success right from the start - and so it proved to be. It's hard to imagine some of those less-than-successful early attempts you had at baking a few years ago but I was already salivating as it came out of the oven. A little pouring cream just to finish it off and you're done. Mmmm!!
Cheers Malcolm!!
Alanna was smiling ear to ear because of her A&E Kitchen success...😊🇬🇧
😂
"Mmmm, that's not fully cooked!"
Lmao I almost died haha.
That tart looks quite lovely!
Thank you for another amazing recipe and fab video! You made my Tuesday!
Next step Alanna - MASTERCHEF!!!! Yesssssss!! Woooooh 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😄😄😄😄😄😄⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
😂
That scrunching the baking paper trick was genius! I normally end up fighting with it to stay in the tin 😆
As someone who enjoys baking, you actually did really well with your techniques. A couple of tips for next time though:
1. Roll your dough between two things that are the right thickness (e.g. chopping boards or pieces of wood) to get your dough even
2. Cream the butter and sugar with the back of a wooden spoon instead of a whisk to make it easier
3. To avoid the shrinking issue, either trim the edges after it's cooked (you can snack on these bits) or just remember to leave a bit extra so when it shrinks it's the right size
the panic when the slice came out looking ok like...I'm not prepared for this
😂
Up to 8:00 back to work soon.
Well you see watching the bake off prog has born fruit as you seperated the egg like a pro, pricked the bottom guessed correctly the blind baking and knew you needed a bit more water in the pastry. Pt2 will be fun.🙂👍
I remember visiting Bakewell a few years ago and, on asking about the tart, I was firmly but politely informed that it's the Bakewell Pudding that is the original desert from Bakewell. The Tart is a relatively modern (probably southern!) upstart pie/cake, and very much inferior to the pudding. Of course the various Bakewell bakeries are very happy to sell you either, but I have to admit that the pudding I had there was delicious!
We British Use a thing called Cookeen which is a fat but is used with Margarine,sugar and flour to make dough for making pies.
Not a big almond fan but I would have had a slice of that - good work! Favourite Alannaism of the day: "this is so not firm ... I'm just gonna add some more water"!
😂 Thanks for watching!
Step away from the kitchen Alanna, lol, greetings from Glasgow sweetie 🌹✌️🌋🦌
Congratulations Alanna! I love your cooking vids and this gave me a good laugh. Totally accomplished! My mouth is now watering. Really enjoyed, it was just what I needed after some harrowing images on the TV last night. 👍👍👍👌😋💯
It's positively thrilling to witness your triumph!! I'm not exaggerating!!😊
Tart looks morish 🙂 have it with ice-cream. Separating egg's, use the shells not your hands, and those oven gloves look very industrial!
That’s a great looking bakewell tart. I have to be honest I have never had a home made one but your reaction seemed to indicate that it’s worth the effort you went to, I hope the Butler also enjoyed it. Thank you for the video I hope you’re having a great week, I look forward to seeing what you have lined up for Friday’s video, thanks again.
That was a lot of fun and looked absolutely delicious! You really are getting pretty good at this baking game 👍
Thank you!!
Always enjoy the cooking episodes. So far, most of the food that has been cooked has looked fantastic.
Glad you like them!
" Mommy Mommy, can i lick the bowl?." "No, pull the chain ,like everybody else". LOL The last time I did any backing was about 1998.
It makes me so happy when you like the things you cook. Your delight at baking success is contagious. Good job!
Thank you so much!
There is also a Bakewell Pudding and there is great rivalry in the town between the two!
I had never heard of bakewell until now so I am very impressed.
Thanks!!
Bakewell is a lovely town if you get chance to visit. Also the place to get the second best Bakewell tarts in the country.
That looks amazing! Love a Bakewell Tart, and you're getting good at baking. Thanks for another great video, and nice to see you now doing videos on Fridays too 😊
Thanks for watching!
Your videos always make me smile 😁
Well done young lady!
Glad you like them!
I love your cooking videos! They’re always so much fun! I really liked the video! I had a Spanish test before watching this, which was stressful, but this was really funny and a nice thing to watch after my test!
Thanks so much! 😊
You suffer the stress of baking for us loyal watchers and we love you for it!! that looks like one lovely tart :D
Thanks for watching!
you made a awesome job of that bakewell tart my fav that frangipane was perfect nice and moist 😍😍😍
Your cooking puts the ‘adventure’ into A and Ns. Well done, a real success. I want to make it now.
Thanks so much!
Great effort, that looks delicious! You're becoming quite the cook, despite all the stress along the way.
Thanks for watching!
Alanna "what could go wrong" us "everything". Rubbing in the butter is (I think) a gentle rubbing motion with the fingers of both hands to make the ingredients look like breadcrumbs. I consider you a friend Alanna, but I do get a bit stressed watching your baking attempts. Although it is fun. :)
Thanks for watching!
@@AdventuresAndNaps Make sure the butter is at room temperature, it will be easier to rub in
A-nother cooking lesson!, omg. Good job, well done. I could smell it through the screen. Plus, that 2-4 of Coke like never moves, like ever!
Scrumptious! The cake looked pretty good too ;)
That looked amazing, you should be very proud of yourself! Great editing on the video as well.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent from this angle.
That looked perfect! Save me a slice...
Wow! those oven gloves... They look like the ones you would find in an iron smelting factory, talk about overkill.😅😂🤣
They're a bit big!
well done Alanna. Keep going with the baking. That looked delicious. You always cheer me up with what you do.
Thanks you so much!!
For somebody that doesn't cook or bake you did a good job for your first try and enjoy watching your video thanks for bring us along on your adventure into baking
Thanks for watching!
Another fantastic vid from a great TH-cam ..Many thank for this cracking vid . You never know mite give it a go myself. .😎😎
Thanks so much!!
Thank you for setting my (and everyone elses) Alexa off on a timer! ;)
Forbidden beans can be pricey - I use rice instead. (Just make sure you don't try and use it for anything else after!)
Rustic or the alternative in our house - 'Artisan' as in that toast was in a bit too long, its now artisanal toast!
That end result looked bloody lovely. I would happily pop round for a cuppa and a slice of Bakewell tart! :) Congratulations
Hi Alanna, that looks awesome!!! I love your cooking videos💓💓 Those gloves are just the right size !! Made me laugh. Well done my dear. Have a great week!!!
Thank you so much!!
I'm giving this 15/10 Mr Kipling's Cakes!
You may worry about your abilities in the kitchen, dear Alanna, but the more you do this, the better you become. What more evidence do you need than the result of this project: a glorious looking, clearly great tasting Bakewell Tart?
When rubbing butter into flour, the trick is to make sure it is very cold. Cut it into small cubes and rub between your fingertips until you have something that resembles fine breadcrumbs. A select few gastronomists recommend using a hard boiled egg yolk; none can say exactly why, for there have apparently been no scientific studies to date, but this results in a richer and flakier pastry. You could experiment at your leisure / peril... In any case, when it comes to adding the water, any amount specified by a recipe is only a rough guide, and you will find (as you did here) that you may need more than suggested, though it should only ever be enough to ensure that the dough is fully integrated, pliable and smooth without being sticky. As the celebrated chef Marco Pierre White says, remember that you can always add but you can never take away.
I never cook with an apron on, so don't feel guilty about that! Just make sure you aren't wearing your finest apparel.
Hey Alanna, great job! Well done, perfect!
Looks 100% yummy 😋 I really love homemade cooking and Bakewell tart is still one on my list. My favourite is Lemon meringue tart, you should definitely try making one, it’s mega yummy!
Thanks so much! 😊
I tell you what, you're constantly knocking your cooking skill but that looks utterly scrumptious again. Get yourself on Bake Off, you've got some talent!
😂 you're too kind!
The sheer joy at the end was great.
☺️
At 3 points in this video you made coffee eject from my nose! Another awesome vid my friend, keep em coming. Big love to all people:)
Ahh thank you! 😂
That looks delicious! I absolutely adore your kitchen and your cooking videos.
Thanks for watching!
Congratulations Alanna ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You’re joy to watch Alanna! The Bakewell tart looks brilliant. And tasty!
Thanks so much!
Great video as always Alanna, that looked tasty. 🙂
Thank you!!
Great job Alanna I love Bakewell tart ❤️ not had one for ages 👍👍 fabulous 👍👍
Thanks so much!
Cheat's way to rub in the butter is to use a food processor. Cube the butter and drop into the flour/icing sugar inside the food processor bowl. Run the food processor until you cannot see any lumps of butter left. Tip into your mixing bowl and bind with the egg yolk and water. With practice you get to learn the dough consistency and whether it's too wet or too dry.
Creaming the butter and caster sugar for the frangipane filling. Use an electric hand whisk. Life's too short to use a manual whisk.
Oh yeah! I knew that was going to be good when it came out of the oven. Top cooking video, cheers!
Thanks so much!
That was such fun! As a total non baker myself, your techniques certainly looked familiar...😂
I loved your reaction to your first taste and I'm so happy for you that it went well ☺👍
Not only did that look great (first attempt or not) but your pure joy at the end result was magical. Getting pastry perfect is just something you get by experience but for a first attempt yours was great (far better than my first attempt :) ) . If I ordered a slice of bakewell tart at a cafe any yours was served I would not be upset. On a side note trying local Bakewell tart and pudding is worth it ! one of the advantages of living in Derby :)
My preference in Bakewell Tarts is the kind with the icing on top with the little chocolate lines on. But i can say one thing for certain, this one would not last very long in my house, and i’m the only one in it 😂😛😛
😂
wow that's looks amazing
Another brilliant effort, bakewell tarts are one of my favourite puddings and yours looks greatish.
Thanks for watching!
Love how surprised and happy you were 😀
The end is always a surprise to me! 😂
Well done Alanna, that looked delicious! I am a fan of a good Bakewell Tart and by the end my mouth was watering because it looked spot on. 😁 Now off to get some dinner and slay this food envy. 😂
Thanks so much!
Wow, Alanna! That looked great. I lurrrve Bakewell tart but I’ve never made one in all my life! That would go lovely with a generous spoonful of Ambrosia custard.
Not a frangipane guy myself, but that looked good none the less.
Tip for baking pastry cases... leave some excess pastry going over the edge of the tin/ring after pushing it in to the base and edges. If anything is going to burn it'll be the edges first. Trim off with a sharp knife once it's finished in the over.
Lemon meringue pie next time? 🙂
It looks great, Your cocking videos encourage us novice cooks to be adventurous and just give things a go, well done.
Thanks for watching!
You are so clever Alanna ❤️
not bad for a first time you are getting good keep doing what your doing so impressed.
Thanks for watching!
Well done! That looks amazing
Thank you!
OMG! That looks so good.
Thank you!!
Well done Alanna! Bet it was deliicious!!!!
So good!
Great video I love a bakewell tart and that looked great, cheers Alanna.
Thanks Brian!
Yummy bakewell tart a real favourite of mine you did a really good job there looks scrumptious.
Thank you!
Another great video Alanna
Thank you!!
I'm a huge fan of baking, so your cooking videos always rock. The Frankenstein technique is tried and true when doing pies or tarts!
Thanks so much!!
Good job girl! You’re a better baker than you think 💕
Thanks for watching!
I agree. It looked great. You can’t beat a fresh home baked cake. Great job Alanna. 😋
Just the thought alone is making me want it 😃😃 looking forward to this one very much is it sometime yet 😃 this is going to be epic
Thanks for watching!
Well done, and getting more adventurous with the recipes, Alanna. The prettiest looking dishes don't always taste the best, far better taste when you can homemake your own, and you know what it contains.
Thanks so much! 😊
Brilliant, I was totally impressed that you made your own pastry and it turned out well, every time I try it just ends up a sticky mess. The end result looked amazing, I'm glad it tasted good too. Made me feel quite hungry. Just need some custard or Ice Cream to go with that now! Congratulations.
Thanks so much!!
Great job. Also thank you for setting a timer on MY Alexa when you almost dropped it :)
😂 Sorry!
Alanna, that looks perfect, yum.😋😋😋
Thanks so much!
Well done, Alanna! Your handmade tart looks delicious!
Thanks for watching!
