Bakewell is a small market town with a population of about 4,000. One of its most attractive features is a medieval bridge with 5 arches which crosses the River Wye. There are pleasant walks along the river. This is an agricultural area, and holds a regular cattle market.
Bakewell Puddings originated here: it is said that in about 1860 a cook at a local hotel was making a jam tart, but instead of putting the egg mixture in the pastry he accidentally spread it on top of the jam. To make a Bakewell Pudding:
- create a pastry case
- spread strawberry jam on top
-cover with a mixture made of eggs, butter, sugar and ground almonds
- bake in an oven
Two shops in Bakewell each claim to have the oldest recipe: The Old Original Bakewell Pudding Shop on Bridge Street, and Bloomers Original Bakewell Pudding Shop on Water Street.
Bakewell pudding (often served with hot custard) is a popular dessert in places which serve traditional British food. Smaller versions (usually known as Bakewell tarts or Bakewell slices) can be bought in bakeries or supermarkets throughout the UK.
