More delicious scones from Claire Ptak’s ” The Violet Bakery Cookbook”. When I lived in London I used to love visiting her stall in Broadway Market on a Saturday morning to pick up some naughty but nice treats.

An easy tart to make when you have wild blackberries to use. As well as having several bushes on my allotment ( not welcomed by the plot rep) I love foraging for these on my walks around the green spaces of Bristol. The recipe is from ” The Violet Bakery Cookbook” by Claire Ptak. Anything left over can be eaten cold the next day.
