I'm sorry and this might be obvious to others but I don't know what muscovado sugar is? :)


Found it. It is unrefined sugar with molasses flavor imported from Africa. Right? YaY! :D


My pencil lead broke... !
I'v had this and it is sooooo good and light. My friend's mum is from England, now living in Canada... And I thought she had spent all day on it!


It looks delicious. If you hadn't of added a picture, I would not have paid as close attention! Yum!! :D


That's true, I like the swirls in the picture. Gonna put mine in a whole wheat crust!


OMG... this sounds wonderful.....I i have to try and make this.....I love the name of it too....are you sure its not just a little bitI irish... with the gypsy in it... lol....


I can taste this now!


Yummm... custard....


I have been trying for an age to get an authentic recipe!! It takes me back sooo long


Gypsy Tart -- to think that's what the boys used to call me! Oh, I wish I hadn't said that!


I have to thank you! I grew up loving this school lunch dessert so much. Now I live in California and nobody has ever heard of it. I thought I would make it for the family Thanksgiving and an English treat. I have had such a nostalgia trip out of this, I look forward to making & eating it tomorrow!


I Live in Kent and no one else i knew ever remembers this, i was a baker as a young lad and always used to make it in my town here in Kent,

the only difference in what i did was i never baked it i used the heat from the pastry case to set the mixture..

I am doing a meal for 40 tomorrow and i am gonna try your way, i havenot made it for over 10 years, so i am up for a challenge,, thanks so much for putting on the web.
