Recipe for [b]TREACLE TART...
Serves: 6 - 8
Oven Temperature: 190ºC/375ºF/Gas 5
Cooking Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients
175g (7 oz) plain flour
Large pinch of salt
50g (2 oz) vegetable margarine
25g (1 oz) trex
2 tbsp water
375g (12 oz) golden syrup
110g (4 oz) white breadcrumbs
1 large lemon
Instructions
1) Rub the margarine into the flour and salt until the mixture
resembles 'breadcrumbs'.
2) Add the water and blend it in with a palette knife.
3) Press the mixture together tightly with your hands and roll it
out on a floured board.
4) Use pastry to line a 20cm (8") pie tin. Cover with cling film
and put it in the fridge.
5) Roll out the pastry trimmings. If you have quite a lot left, cut
8 strips of pastry about 1 1/2cm wide. 4 of them should be almost
20cm long. The other 4 can be about 15cm long. If there isn't
enough pastry to do this, cut out some stars or other shapes using
cookie cutters.
6) Put the syrup and breadcrumbs into a saucepan.
7) Grate the zest from the lemon, then cut it in half and squeeze
out the juice. Put the zest and juice with the syrup and
breadcrumbs.
Warm the breadcrumb mixture over a very low heat
until the breadcrumbs have absorbed some of the moisture and
swollen up.
9) Take the pastry case out of the fridge and pour in the
breadcrumb mixture. Make a lattice on the top of the tart using the
pastry strips, or decorate with pastry shapes.
10) Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes at 190ºC/375ºF. Good with
custard.
