I'm putting this here rather than in the recipe section because it's more of a British question. Does anyone have a recipe for low calorie bakewells? I got the WW version on a recent trip to Britain and loved them. They are unavailable in the States.

Are there some good sites for WW British recipes?

Thanks all.

Sorry no I don't know of any. Anyone?

NOT tried and tested, but I found this on an NHS (National Health Service site) so it must be at least semi ok. Might try them myself when I have a moment or three in the kitchen, though I never have much luck with low fat pastry.

kykaree do you have a link to the recipe or can you cut and paste it here?

Thanks.

LOL I went to the page and copied the link but duh didn't post it!!! Gotta stop using the internet with my eyes closed! The recipe is for one large tart, but no reason why you couldn't make little ones. And a no fat frosting just with icing sugar and water, as these have no topping.
