    When we were young my Mum used to bake a rhubarb tart but unlike the normal variety.
    This tart had a really thick bread type base probably 5-6 mm thick into which the juice of the rhubarb soaked . When cold the base was almost like jelly.The top crust was also thicker than a normal tart.
    Any ideas for a pastry that might be suitable as i am trying to re create this old favourite.:)

    I can't say I've ever tasted a rhubarb tart like that but it sounds delicious.

    I've moved this into the Cakes & Bakes forum because you're more likely to get helpful replies in here.

    My nan used to make this. It's kind of a soda bread pastry, much less fat to flour. I would say a self raising flour recipe too maybe. To me it's like a bought pastry, thicker than I make :) Google old fashioned/traditional recipes and look out for one so with a lot less fat and some sort of raising agent.
