    It's a tart made from evaporated milk and brown sugar on pastry.

    I made some 2 christmasses ago - lush

    I think it's a Kent thing....
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    OMG this was the best dessert at school! I loved it! But never knew what it was called or how it was made but i am sure it is the same we had in school, as it was a pastry pudding with light brown sticky centre! I am so going to make this and show my sister and brother who also often mentions it when we talk about school! My school was in south London though not Kent. :)
