We went to friends for Sunday lunch and were treated to the best treacle tart I’ve ever eaten. I freely admit I don’t actually care very much for this particular pudding as I have always found it cloying and stodgy. But not this one. It was light and fragranced with citrus with crumbly short pastry.
So I asked our hostess, Alice, for the pudding recipe so I could share it with A&G readers and she kindly let me into her secret…
Recipe for the best treacle tart I’ve ever eaten
Course: Recipes, Sweet TreatsNot only light and citrussy, but very easy to bake
Ingredients
1 Orange zested
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 pk Jus Rol Short Crust Pastry
1lb (450g) Golden Syrup
200g Waitrose Fresh White Breadcrumbs
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Roll the pastry out and line a fluted loose bottomed flat case 7”- 9” (depending on what you have). - Bake blind with baking beans and baking parchment for about 10 mins. Remove paper, prick the base and return to the oven for another 5 or so mins (no soggy bottoms please!)
- Mix together the golden syrup, breadcrumbs, lemon juice, and orange zest.
Pour into the pastry case, avoid squashing the crumbs down. (You don’t want a dense mix) - Cook for 30 mins until just browning and crisp on top. Serve with clotted cream or double if not feeling so indulgent!
