Weekend Baking: Tart

July 23, 2011 By Spoonful of Sugar - 17 Comments

This week Sarah has been baking up a storm as usual. We had a lovely dinner last night with family visiting from London. Sarah made up the Chewy Chess Tart from Martha Stewart’s Pies and Tarts Cookbook. You can also find the recipe on Martha’s website here. The tart has a biscuit crust (Sarah used chocolate ripple biscuits) and is filled with a caramel custard filling that forms a chewy top during baking. It was delicious!

Sarah made up another batch of macarons – this time they were Cinnamon flavoured with a honey buttercream fillling using the same recipe from last week that you can find here.

Although I am reluctant to return to work on Monday, at least I won’t be tempted to eat so many treats during the day.

If you have been baking this week, we would love to see what you have been making in the kitchen.

Here is our Weekend Baking Button if you would like to add it to your blog.

    Gracious, I have just flipped back through the last few pages of posts to check out what I have missed for so long and I have to say that you are making one pregnant lady very hungry!

    Both of those tasty treats look delicious! I might have to try them out and postpone that diet I had planned.
