Treacle Tart Recipe
A very morish, inexpensive dessert to make.
Cooking Temperature 160 C / 325 F / Gas Mark 3
Ingredients
- 2 cups Flour
- 1/2 cup Butter packed
- 5 tablespoons Icing Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 1/4 cup Golden Syrup
- 2 cups Fresh Bread Crumbs (4 oz / 100 g)
- 3 Lemons zested, juiced
Instructions
- Mix the flour, butter, icing sugar and egg together to make the pastry. Roll out the pastry to fit a 9 inch (23cm) pie tin, reserving enough pastry to make strips for the top of the pie.
- Start heating your oven to 160 C / 325 F / Gas Mark 3.
- Warm the syrup in a saucepan over medium heat; mix in all the remaining ingredients. Pour into the pie shell.
- Roll out the pastry you set aside, cut into strips, and do your best imitation of a lattice-work top.
- Place on a cookie sheet (as it may bubble over) and bake in oven until pastry is golden and filling is set (anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour.)
- Don't serve hot; let cool at least a little on the counter before cutting and serving.
Notes
Serve with custard, double-cream or crème fraîche
