A family favourite of ours is Bakewell Tart, something we usually buy and have never made before so I decided to rectify that. I used Mary Berry's recipe here:
and adapted it slightly. I made a bit more pastry than needed as a pastry amateur, and just used the leftovers to make mini jam tarts. I also left out the flaked almonds and icing drizzle on top and covered ours with a thicker layer of icing and half glace cherries! I would recommend watching the video on the link about blind baking if you haven't done it before (plus it's Paul, so good time for an ogle). Here's a few pics of mine in progress:

Filled tart- think I may have used a little too much jam!!
My tart after 22 minutes, so glad I checked it as any longer and we would have been in BIG trouble. Recipe says 35 minutes to bake, check yours lots!!
Topped with icing and cherries!
Mmmmmm
