School cooks......?

Question

Are there any school cooks out there who can give me the recipe for manchester tart.
I ve made a few but none taste like they did in school.

Answer 1

Half pint bread crumbs (about three ounces), half pint of milk, strip of lemon rind, two tablespoonfuls of castor sugar. For pastry: Half pound flour, quarter-pound of butter or lard, one tablespoonful of castor sugar, and a good squeeze of lemon juice, and a little cold water. Boil the milk and lemon rind in a white-lined pan. Mix with the bread crumbs a small piece of butter, then pour the boiling milk over. Add the yolks of three eggs and whites of two, and mix thoroughly. Line a dish with short pastry. Put a double edge. Put a layer of damson jam at the bottom of the dish, add the kernels of a few blanched almonds. Flavour the custard with a little essence of vanilla. Pour over the jam. Bake in a quick oven about half an hour.
