Cheesecake Love Thread

Ha. Correct. There really is no comparison as a proper Yorkshire curd tart cannot be bettered. Blimey - what more do you want? I even put a recipe!

btw - curd is the basis for making cheese :-)

'To make an authentic curd tart, you need to get hold of ‘bislings’ or ‘beastling’ milk – the colostrum from a cow that has just calved'

fuck off.. i'd rather eat my own jism..

Isn't that an Ausie recipe - jism pie?

eewwwww thanks for visual Hippy...
" the colostrum from a cow that has just calved" sounds revolting...

@ goodhead, dont even think about opening that can of worms :)

The Flannery Family Polish-Jewish (via Israel) Lemon Cheesecake

2oz self-raising flour
1 and a half oz of plain flour
2oz of butter
10 oz of caster sugar
5 eggs
1 lb of cream cheese (like Philadelphia, must be full-fat)
1 unwaxed lemon
150 ml of sour cream
9" spring-lock cake tin

Base
Cream the butter and 2 oz of caster sugar. Add 1 egg. Beat well and sift in self-raising flour. Mix and spread in bottom of buttered cake tin.

Filling
Separate 4 eggs, whisk yolks with remaining sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in the cream cheese, then sift the plain flour, the juice and zest of the lemon (but not the pith!), and the sour cream. Beat until creamy. Whisk the egg whites until stiff then fold into the mixture. Pour the mixture into the tin and back in a pre-heated oven at 170 degrees celsius for 1 hour, making sure not to open the door. Then turn the oven off, open the oven door slightly and leave for another hour. Leave to cool for 2/3 hours.

Notes
Sorry about the muddled measurements. It's worth cutting a slice after it's baked, as it's lovely warm and light. It'll take a day in the fridge to come to it's full lemony maturity.

^ Yum! thank you.. I'll definitely make this

Ha - that's Hugh FW being a tit. Colostrum is only milk anyway ffs - the cow happens to be pregnant.

Make the curds using normal milk & lemon juice or use rennet.

Or just go to York / Harrogate and buy one from Betty's :-)

Excellent! How long after baking did you serve?

^ I made it the day before so it had all night to settle and chill, it made the serving easy and it was lovely and lemony which went really well with the citrusy cocktails that evening.

Everyone commented how lovely is was.

And I didn't even get a slice! :(

Don't complain. Neither did I.

War is for idiots. Cheesecake is for sex.

I have to admit out of all the threads I've read this one has convinced me more than ever to go out and buy something.

Morrisons cheesecake is sweet.

I've also got some left if you want to share?:

Bump.

Share the love.
