Simple, easy recipe - great to try with young children. However; you need to add what to do with the sugar, and ingredients are normally listed in the order they are used. It would be good to add that 'gas mark 5' is 190C/375F (about 10% lower for fan forced).

Great recipe. Used it for school with a faulty oven and they still turned out delicious, all my friends loved them.

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!

It is easy to convert gas marks to Fahrenheit or Centigrade, that’s what google is there for so the thickness and rawness is your own fault. If you have issues with this recipe get a different one.

its not hard to convert gas to Fahrenheit or centigrade so the raw thing is your own fault

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!
