Treacle Tart

Ingredients: 

• Pastry crust for 9-inch plate or tin
• 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

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.

Serves 4.
