- Preheat the oven to 180 C, 350 F, Gas Mark 4. Beat the softened butter till it is creamy, and then add in the nutmeg and the two rinds. Beat the butter into the breadcrumbs and cream and mix well. Gradually and lightly, beat the whisked Large eggs into the cream mix.
- If you are flavouring the cakes with jam, blob a little into the base of each tart. If you are using currants and brandy, mix them both lightly into the cheesecake mix. Divide the mix between the cases, and bake in the upper half of the preheated oven for 40-50 min. When they are hard and a light gold, they are done. Serve them hot.
