Friday Pie Day Faux Pas: Not So Bakewell Tart

Once upon a Friday Pie-Day, a beautiful bakewell tart was born...

Yet somehow, somewhere, I managed to screw it up.

*sigh* Let me explain...

With the amount of baking I attempt these days, I'm all too aware of the amount of butter, sugar and flour I usually go through. So I'm always trying to find healthy substitutes.

Sometimes this is very successful (like this sugar and butter free apple cake and this butter and flour free chocolate cake).

But other times, it just turns out gross.

I was SO disappointed with this because it looks so pretty! The flavour wasn't too bad actually but there was just something wrong about the texture. Very wrong.

Let's take stock - the only 'odd' ingredients were cornmeal flour and er, tofu. Now I'm not pointing fingers but I suspect it may have been the tofu.

I had trouble letting go though - I hate throwing food out, especially pies! So I sliced the rest and tubbed it up, so that I could mull it over and decide its fate in the morning.

It probably wasn't the best idea to try a slice at 7am but I took a bite, spat it out...and promptly chucked the lot in the bin.

The moral of this story? Don't try to make a bakewell tart healthy.

Pie out.
