Recipes FAQ

Can I use a different flavor of jam?

Absolutely! You can use any flavor of jam that you prefer or have on hand. Strawberry, apricot, and blackberry all work well.

Can I substitute a different type of nut for the almonds?

Yes, you can use other ground nuts such as hazelnuts or pecans, but keep in mind that it will change the flavor of the dessert.

Can I use margarine instead of butter?

While margarine can be used as a substitute for butter in some recipes, we recommend using unsalted butter for this recipe to get the best flavor and texture.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your butter is chilled before adding it to the flour mixture.
  • Don't skip the step of chilling the crust before adding the jam and filling. This helps to prevent the layers from mixing together.
  • If the top of the bakewell slice is browning too quickly, you can cover it with foil for the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
  • For an extra special touch, dust the top of the bakewell slice with powdered sugar before serving.
