- Full recipe in the description! This Manchester tart is a very simple recipe, and for a relatively small investment of resources the results are spectacular. Just like feeding the nation's children. A creamy custard filling atop a layer of raspberry jam, all encased in a crispy butter pastry. Absolutely magnificent and, along with Marcus Rashford, one of the best things to come out of Manchester.
Manchester Tart full recipe:
Pastry base:
200g all purpose flour
50g sugar
A good pinch of salt
100g room temperature butter
Optional tablespoon of lemon juice
One egg yolk
Custard filling
9 egg yolks
750ml milk
1 vanilla pod
90g sugar
75g corn starch (around 10 LEVEL tablespoons)
75g butter
Use around 4-5 tablespoons of jam and plenty of dried desiccated coconut as shown. It's very important to sprinkle plenty of coconut on your jam before the cooled custard filling goes on. Almost as important as investing in the well being of the country's children.
Enjoy!

Yes, I remember Manchester tart from school dinners. I was lucky enough to have been born in the mid 50s when children were the hope for the future. Also National Health was also a real thing.

Expat scouser Canadian here, the drippingly sarcastic dialogue interspersed with the recipe was brilliant AND spot on, I think my folks in scouseland would like you even tho' you are a manc😊- the tart looks lovely. Mick Lynch for PM!!!!!
If you're gonna call me a Manc I'm gonna call you a wool mate 🤣 The clue's in my name ❤
Thanks for a brilliant recipe and even better political insight !
My Mum is from Manchester- apparently the Manchester tart at her school made her heave! Will give this a go though - thanks!
how amazingly you explained the recipe in a quick and easy way to enjoy this wonderful dish 💕Stay Connected💕
Thanks for this fab retro recipe! Our school didn't serve this but I remember eating it in the canteen at my first job😊
Am not a cook. But I love Manchester tart and can't get it locally. Plus price of things these day's. So bought a ready made pastry case. Tub of custard to make. But your custard cream whatever it looks absolutely amazing. I think I would definitely give it a go one day to make the custard. I was drooling watching it. Thanks for the recipe I will save it. 😊
I remember having Manchester tart for lunch at Archibald junior school back in the 60s and 70s.
Don Revie's old school if I remember correctly? Green Lane?
Fab I'm a Manchester Tart, we have it sometimes with a layer of banana at the bottom for extra decadence xx
Who doesn’t love a Tart no matter where she comes from.🥸
Loved Manchester Tart, one of my favourite memories of school dinners. The one they served us had a layer of bananas in the base along with the jam! That looks lovely, definitely going to have to bake one this weekend. Thanks for the recipe 😍
I remember having this in the infants class ( we also had a gill of milk with a biscuit halfway through the morning); there were also bananas on the bottom of the pastry case, though.
From Yorkshire.
An excuse to make custard is always welcome! 😋
I went to school in Thornaby and we had Manchester Tart at school in the 70's.
Aah that must be it. The 1980 Education Act might have changed all that. Either that or you're from the posh part of Thornaby 😆
@@TheTeessideChef Not posh me like, was from Littleboy Park council estate
I went to high school in the early to mid 80's in Liverpool and we had Manchester tart, I loved our school dinners.
Honley C of E Junior School in West Yorkshire served this 1969 to 1971 with pink custard.
Nice. I have a pink custard video coming up when I get back to uploading
Wow, my absolute favourite at school. I'm from Cumbria and went to what was called a secondary modern school, later called a comprehensive (so it wasn't a posh school lol) Everyone loved this, but we didn't get it often enough. I'm an oldie so went to school through the 70's and left in 1980 just as those rubbish conservatives were bringing in their changes to the education act. Whenever anyone of my age remembers school dinners and what they had Manchester Tart always gets a mention.
Are you a stand up comedian? Just wondered - your commentary cracks me up. I'm watching your videos for the commentary as much as for the recipes.
Went to a comprehensive in Middlesbrough we had Manchester tart and the one with cornflakes yum! Will definitely give this a go 👍
Love this, subscribed
Thanks mate. Much appreciated 👍
Simple and beautiful. Never had it at school.
I don't remember having Manchester tart at school tbh. But I have made it a few times and it is delicious. Thanks for the video and Happy New Year.
Class
Sure did have it at my school best pudding ever lol...Plus chocolate cake and mint custard omg those days Yum
Fabulous! There were plenty of Manchester Tarts at my school but they never cooked owt.. Cheers fella!
I'm from Manchester and I'm not sure we had Manchester Tart at my primary school.. There were not a lot of desserts served and all of them were dodgy except for the suet based steam puddings, the jam, tapioca and semolina puddings. The terror of my school lunch times was the boiled cabbage and the mashed potatoes with lumps in it.
Super flavorful
My fav at school . And Australian crunch !! 😋
Had this classic at school! It was so nice! The pastry was a bit thicker tho. Made up to find the recipe. Yours is a masterpiece Thanks 😊
Deffo - along with cornflake tart and butterscotch tart!
I have just come accross your channel and you have taken me back to my 70s school dinner days in northwest uk. We had this regular and even made it in our cookery lessons. I love it, but never made it since school many years ago. I also love your northern humour and accent, i could listen to you all day. Just subscribed, thank you for this tutorial and a good laugh 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thankyou. Much appreciated ❤
I remember getting liver at school it was horrid as for Manchester tart I only heard of it when I moved out of the North East ❤
Hello Teesiide chef. I'm not posh but i seem to remember having this at school as young boy growing up in rural Suffolk in 1960's/70's (showing my age). Ted Heaths Tory goverment and the three day week+ powercuts and candles. p.s As soon as I saw the coconut on top and your mention of jam....dead give away
Love the sprinkling of political commentary almost as much as the sprinkling of desiccated coconut. Even though at some points it was laid on as thick as the raspberry jam. A very interesting presentation. The tart looks delicious.
Haha thankyou. A very poetic comment that one. Makes a change from getting abuse for getting political :o)
Cracking, well-explained recipes and trenchant social commentary! Are you Nigella and Billy Bragg's love-child? Who cares? What's not to love about you x
🤣🤣 Thanks mate
Where could I get a Manchester Tart this time of night? Lol sorry mate, could not resist lol
I think we had it at my school, posh, it was NOT 😂
Chef!
Can you make Australian crunch and mint custard , anyone remember that at school ? 😁😋
Love your videos and dry humour.
I’m a West Country Somerset Girl and love your accent 😍🍎✨
Thanks! I was looking at Aussie crunch earlier after you mentioned it. Definitely gonna give it a go at some point as I have a golden syrup recipe planned so that will fit nicely. Love getting suggestions. Cheers ❤
@@TheTeessideChef
Aw Thanks Chef!
I will wait for the Bell to let me know you are on and baking!!
Looking forward to it!
Take care , love from Zummerset !! 😍🍎✨
Do you need to oil or butter the flan case first to stop the pastry sticking to it once cooked ?
Cheers
I suppose you could butter the case if you're worried about sticking but there's really no need. I've never had a problem with shortcrust pastry sticking before. HTH
@@TheTeessideChef
Thanks for that. Wasn’t sure.
I look forward to making it now!
All the best from New Zealand
Excuse me I went to the wrong school haha🤣🤣
A regular at Whinney Banks juniors and at Stainsby
So the posh schools then 🤣
What no bananas.still looks lush.
Creme patissere posh word for custard
Good on politics and the recepie. My kind of bloke
I was looking forward to seeing this but I had to switch off because of the constant politics during the recipe.
So a Manchester tart is a custard tard with jam and coconut 🤔
Ive been struggling to make the filling set well enough to last a few days in my kitchen, rate the video and LOVE the socialist narration lol
And don't worry, the Labour government didn't do much about it either 😉
I just wish my dad didn’t work so I could get some free meals.
Came for the recipe, stayed for the political commentary. Brilliant! #GTTO
Just bake and cut out the political stuff
What a shame a good recipe was over shadowed by the political rant, not what I’d tuned in for 😮
Totally agree with you,will not watch any more from this person.
Can I humbly suggest you put the politics in to separate videos because it’s spoiling what is good content for me, thank you
Thanks for swinging by mate. I can't promise that I won't get political anymore but I can promise that I'll have lots of non political content coming up in the future. Thanks for watching.
What's with the political bollocks
We found the dirty Tory!
@@pastryattack2170 Never voted tory in my life.
@@PortmanRd who are you?
@@pastryattack2170 Just a working class guy. My comment about Ted Heath was purely tongue in cheek. Just reminiscing about the period I grew up in. And not may I add extolling Tory party policy.
@@PortmanRd what's that got to do with me?
