How to Make a Classic Manchester Tart, a traditional English dessert
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ส.ค. 2024
- Today, upon request, I will create a delightful Manchester Tart, a traditional British dessert known for its rich flavors and delightful textures. I will guide you through the simple steps to prepare this classic treat using either store-bought or homemade shortcrust pastry. Layered with sweet raspberry jam and creamy custard (you can choose ready-made or homemade), this tart becomes irresistible when topped with desiccated coconut, sliced bananas, and maraschino cherries for that perfect garnish. Whether you're a seasoned baker or new to the kitchen, this recipe is easy to follow and guarantees a delicious outcome.
The Manchester Tart, a traditional English baked tart, has undergone various adaptations. Introducing bananas into this tart appears to be a relatively modern variation. The tart originally consisted of a shortcrust pastry shell spread with raspberry jam, covered with custard, and topped with flakes of coconut and a Maraschino cherry. Including a layer of thinly sliced bananas under the custard is a common variation, adding a fresh and fruity element to the tart's flavor profile.
The exact reason for introducing bananas into the Manchester Tart is not explicitly documented, but it can be inferred that this adaptation was likely made to enhance the tart's flavor and texture, aligning with evolving tastes and preferences in dessert offerings. Adding bananas would provide a sweet and creamy contrast to the raspberry jam's tartness and the custard's richness, making the dessert more appealing to a broader range of palates.

I’ve lived in Salford and Manchester area for over 65 years and never seen coconut, cherries or banana in a Manchester tart. I’ve eaten it all my life and will carry on eating it, I will ask if any one else has ever seen or tried it. Cheers my friend still a great video 👍
Yes the standard way is pastry, jam, custard, coconut. The Manchester Tart, a traditional English baked tart, has undergone various adaptations. Introducing bananas into this tart appears to be a relatively modern variation. The tart originally consisted of a shortcrust pastry shell spread with raspberry jam, covered with custard, and topped with flakes of coconut and a Maraschino cherry. Including a layer of thinly sliced bananas under the custard is a common variation, adding a fresh and fruity element to the tart's flavor profile.
The exact reason for introducing bananas into the Manchester Tart is not explicitly documented, but it can be inferred that this adaptation was likely made to enhance the tart's flavor and texture, aligning with evolving tastes and preferences in dessert offerings. Adding bananas would provide a sweet and creamy contrast to the raspberry jam's tartness and the custard's richness, making the dessert more appealing to a broader range of palates. Which ever way you decide to bake and eat its an amazing classic. Best, Rik
Never seen manchesterbtart without coconut
It’s pastry jam, custard, coconut
Manchester tart does have coconut on top.
@@BackyardChefAbsolutely NO to bananas or the cherries on top. Apart from that, yummy. Xx
Ooooh rik this is my all time old school pudding, just never made it myself
Thank you👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hi Diane, have a go. Its so easy, and wow, it blew me away this one. I had homemade raspberry jam in there with the bananas. What a combination - gone up another kilo. Best, Rik
Absolutely FABULOUS, I came from Manchester many moons ago and I do remember it from school lunches. My mum had to pay 1 shilling per child to have the lunch and she had 5 children !!! Great days they were ....thanks Rik
Thank you. Best, Rik
That looks sooo delicicous!
Beautiful tart.
Thank you Rita. Best, Rik
That looks so yummy. Never seen that before 😋
Hmm! A school favourite from my childhood. I often made this when the children were younger. If I couldn’t get desiccated coconut I sprinkled hundreds and thousands on the top.
I’m glad you’ve done this.
Thank you. Best, Rik
You videos are sooo good pal, easy to follow, never stop 👍
I will keep going as long as I can help just one person enjoy what they make. Thank you very much for your comment. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef I’ve made many of your delicious offerings, top content 💪
Thank you. Best, Rik
Rik that looks bloomin lovely. WOW
Thank you, Edith - a lovely one this one! Best, Rik
Good day from Huntsville, Texas. This is your favourite South African expat. You are certainly a pro at what you do and so nice to hear your English accent. After living here for 33 years it is good to hear you speka, very refreshing. Now I am hungry! hahaha
Yes, Manchester tart has always been a favourite of mine too. Thanks for sharing with us x
You’re welcome 😊 Thank you. Best, Rik
Enjoying from Willacoochee GA USA. THANKS !
Thank you for joining us. Best, Rik
We will be making this soon!
Thank you. Best, Rik
❤❤ pure goodness cannot wait to make this!
Thank you. Best, Rik
I've been waiting for you to do this one for a long time Rik. I love Manchester Tart.
It's here now, and by heck, I've enjoyed it. Best, Rik
I could see myself eating a big piece of that tart for breakfast on a Sunday morning for a special treat. More appealing than eating toast and jam or cold cereal with milk. Same ingredients, different form.
You could bravely face life's challenges (whiney children, obnoxious neighbors, toxic work environment etc.) after treating yourself to that indulgence for breakfast. Then have another large slice with your tea in the afternoon for a pick-me-up.
Therapy on a plate. No need for doctors or prescriptions!
Thank you. Best, Rik
I live in Preston Lancashire, not far from Manchester and I absolutely loved this dessert at school back in the 70's. When I knew Manchester tart was on the menu, I always made sure to go in last for dinner as I knew if there was any left overs and no more kids to feed, we'd get seconds hahaha. That looked delicious and, I would always want it with the bananas in the recipe. Absolutely devine 😋
Great memories Louise. Best, Rik
Must be delicious! I ll surely make one for myself😅😊! Never tried before!!! Love this channel🎉
Thank you very much. Best, Rik
❤yum
I just knew you were going to lick the jam spoon 😂😂😂
Always! Best, Rik
Going to give this a try. Ric my pie crust is all hard as a rock, sometimes we think we'll have to get the Jack-hammer out! I made the olive oil crust the other day. It was so easy to make, but hard crust. Am I overworking the dough???? We really enjoy all your videos
Gi, Kate. The olive oil pastry is a hard pastry - that is the downside of a healthier pastry using oil. However, the jackhammer shouldn't have been on the table. The more conventional pastry like the shortcrust is only slightly more unhealthy in terms of the fats used but way better to use. So to answer - I would imagine you didn't overwork. Best, Rik
Used to have this dish as a pudding with school dinners! Rick is it possible for you to do a Kentish Gypsie Tart recipe please?
Great suggestion! Thank you. Best, Rik
Lovely looking tart Rik. Were they glacé cherries you were using? If so, where did you find them? I’ve looked everywhere for these, even in the shops selling expat foods but could never find a single place that sold them. I haven’t seen them for 30 years. Chiang Mai seems to have stuff that we in the south can’t get for some reason. My sister in law has gone to CM today so if you for the cherries there please let me know so that I can get her to get me a few pots.
Yes, mate - YOK is a baking shop on the super highway. Little pricey on some things. It's all about baking an amazing shop. Been going there from a small shop and now it's a belter. Yok is on the opposite side of the highway to Makro and Big C, Easy to find most folks know it. Best, Rik
Hi Rik, tried about a dozen of your recipe's (up to now ) all spot on, but this one is special, so old skool ,How about potato cakes & teesside parmo. Cheers Redcar Steve
Sounds great! Thank you - on it! Best, Rik
Absolutely divine! So delicious and beautiful as well. Enjoyed this one. Yum yum yum!! Glad you enjoyed it!! That first bite was massive. LOLOL Did not know if you were going to make it!! Glad you did. Delish!!! May I make a request for a video to make English Bakewell Tart (almond tart with the cherry in the middle on top of the white icing)? I have tried to find a recipe online using cups and teaspoon measurements or even in ounces instead of grams, and cannot find one! I tried to make one and the measurements were wayyy off and it came out terrible. I would greatly appreciate it. Almond is my favorite dessert flavor. Would you call it English Iced Cherry Bakewell Tart?? Thank you!!!
You can, and its already scheduled. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef OH Lovely!!! Thank you ever so much!!! 💙💜💚💛❤
just a thought could you use coconut milk to make the custard, for extra taste, do you do a Bakewell tart Rik, that's my favourite.
Bakewell is coming. Never used the coconut milk, to be honest. I do not see why it can't be used. Best, Rik
