*************

Bakewell pudding (not to be confused with a Bakewell tart) is an English dessert commonly consisting of a flaky pastry base with a layer of sieved jam, topped with an egg and almond paste filling. There are numerous variations and several bakeries each claim to hold the original recipe. The pudding originates from the Derbyshire town of Bakewell.^[1][2]

References to Bakewell pudding appear earlier than the term Bakewell tart, which only appears to have entered common usage in the 20th Century.^[1] In 1861, Mrs Beeton published a recipe for ""Bakewell pudding"" that used breadcrumbs instead of a pastry base.^[3] Eliza Acton also makes reference to Bakewell pudding in her book, published in 1845.^[4]

The origins of the pudding are not clear; however, the generally accepted story is that it was first made by accident in 1820 by Mrs Greaves, who was the landlady of the White Horse Inn (now called the Rutland Arms). She supposedly left instructions for her cook to make a jam tart. The cook, instead of stirring the eggs and almond paste mixture into the pastry, spread it on top of the jam.^[5] When cooked, the egg and almond paste set similar to an egg custard, in texture, and the result was successful enough for it to become a popular dish at the Inn. Modern versions of Bakewell tarts are a completely different confection, both in appearance, flavour and texture. These are made by larger commercial bakeries, often with icing on top.^[6]
