Paul visited Yorkshire to look at the wonderful variety of bakes that this county is famous for before creating his own Yorkshire treat, the Yorkshire curd tart.<\/p>\n

Yorkshire is well known for producing many fine products and none more so than the county’ baking treats.<\/p>\n

Baking is a big part of life in Yorkshire, and many events are organised to allow locals to sell their fine products. Perhaps the most famous bake from the region is the Yorkshire parkin cake. This sponge made with oatmeal, treacle and spices are often enjoyed in the region on bonfire nights.<\/p>\n

While it is possible to find recipes that omit oatmeal or treacle, or even both, these are generally considered distinctive features of Yorkshire parkin, and it is hard to see what would distinguish it from any other gingerbread without them. <\/p>\n

One great place that Paul visited in Yorkshire was Betty\u2019s Caf\u00e9 Tea Rooms in Harrogate. The caf\u00e9 was founded in 1919 and is famous among other things for its Yorkshire Fat Rascals.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Yorkshire Fat Rascals is made from a secret recipe, but looks like an extra special rock cake.<\/p>\n

Paul\u2019s Yorkshire excursion gave him the inspiration to make his Yorkshire curd tart. <\/p>\n

Curd tarts were traditionally baked for Whitsuntide, when many Yorkshire villages held feasts and fair days. The filling these days is made with curd cheese and rosewater is used for flavouring.<\/p>\n
