I don't have a sweet tooth - honest!

I made this, this morning

Egg Custard Tart

because I had eggs left in the fridge

at this point I would normally put leftover

pastry in the freezer.

I don't know what came over me
because..............

I also made a Treacle Tart.

I buy a French Stick just to make breadcrumbs

my son thinks that is
sacrilege and says it should

only be used for *bacon and baked bean rolls* - don't ask!

But this bread makes decent breadcrumbs and made

a nice centre to soak up the treacle.

and with the leftover pastry I made a dozen Jan Tarts.

*Bacon and Bean Rolls cut the end off of the French Stick enough that you think you are going to eat. Pull out the soft white bread and eat while bacon is cooking and the baked beans are warming through being careful not to put your fingers through the crust, this must be hole free. Fill the cavity with the beans and the bacon. Eat and enjoy*

I understand you can only feed two people with this because you need the ends, apparantly it doesn't work with the bit in the middle! But this bit can be used for breadcrumbs!

My son Robert invented this while being a student. I have never tried this recipe so I really don't know what it is like but I understand it is very nice
