The worst recipe! Where does the sugar go?! And no thickness specified at all. And Gas Mark 5, it would have been helpful to have this in Farenheit or Centigrade. So after following this recipe, my tarts are too thick, raw in the middle and currently inedible! In the bin they go! Note to self - next time, read the comments below!

Thickness of pastry would be very helpful. I made two batches and one was thicker than the other, tasted claggy and undercooked, although were golden brown

The sugar is optional to sprinkle on top of the jam before baking to give them a little extra sheen.

Simple recipe, goes down well with the kids!! NB. Add your sugar after you have rubbed in the flour, before adding the water!

I have never heard of sugar in pastry for jam tarts and I asked my mother and she has never done that in 50 years
