Treacle Tart
Ingredients
- Pastry crust for 9 inch plate
- 2 level tablespoons fresh white bread crumbs
- 2 level tablespoons black treacle
- 1 level tablespoon golden syrup or 3 level tablespoons golden syrup if omitting the black treacle
- 1/2 level teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Line plate or tin with pastry.
- Mix bread crumbs with other ingredients. Spread over pastry, leaving a 1-inch edge, if using a plate. Moisten edges with cold water and arrange remaining pastry in thin strips to make a criss-cross design. Press firmly to edges and bake in the centre of a moderate oven (200 degrees C, 400 degrees F or Gas No. 6) for 30 minutes or until pastry is golden.
- Serve with fresh cream, sour cream, natural yogurt or custard.
Notes
The most common brand of golden syrup is Lyle's. If you cannot find it, use white Karo syrup as a substitute.
