And I am now, reminded of it by spaw's buttermilk pie, going to find the secret recipe for gypsy tart for you. This dish was served in Kentish schools for years, and divided its recipients inot those who loved it, and those who hated it. Now discontinued for health reasons, the local bakers have sought out the recipe, and sell it to the unreconstructed addicts.

As far as I can recall, it goes like this:

Use a standard sized precooked pie case - straight sided, flan-tin type.

Take a small can of unsweetened evaporated milk and whisk it thickly. Add an equal weight of soft brown sugar, and continue beating to make a thick creamy mixture. Pour it into the case and bake in a moderate oven until set.

Allow it to cool.
