Nanny makes cherry bakewells, which the kids all love, so I knew I had a lot to live up to! Mary didn't let me down.
The good thing about this recipe is that you don't have to cook the pastry base first, but do it all in one go. The only comment that I would make is that I didn't seem to have enough pastry to line the tin. I covered the bottom fine, but not right up the sides. Having said that, I had decided that I would cut the side bits of pastry off anyway. They were easy to trim away, without cutting off any of the sponge.
These slices scored 9.0, and Tom particularly enjoyed them! We think they were even as good as Nanny's - sorry Mum!
Oh, I should also mention at this point that I have bought a food mixer. I have been saving up for a while, and decided to splash out. I used it for this recipe, and it worked well, although it wasn't too challenging. I am looking forward to using it for kneading bread, although I don't want to put Nathan out of a job!!
