BUTTERSCOTH TART RECIPE:

SERVES 16 (Serves 16 because used in school but who cares, I could eat 16 pieces of this yummy desert!)

Pie crust:
459g plain flour
120g margarine
120g lard
50ml water

Add flour to a big mixing bowl, break up margarine and lard into flour and rub in until it resembles breadcrumbs, then add water and bring to dough, tip: add a bit of water at a time, otherwise it could go to wet and runny.

Prick the bottom of the crust to bake blind, allow cooling before adding the filling.

Filling:
230g margarine
230g plain flour
230g sugar
10g butterscotch essence
10g vanilla essence
150ml milk


Melt margarine, sugar in pan, and mix together. (I used a double boiler)
Add flour cook through.

Put all in mixing bowl and mix in essences and milk
Mix until thick and creamy
Spread over cooled pastry and chill for 1 hour

I served this with whipped cream and grated chocolate.
