Syrup tart

An old family favourite.

What you need

500 g ready made shortcrust pastry
200 g golden syrup
40 g margarine
200 g golden syrup
40 g fresh white breadcrumbs
finely grated rind of 1 lemon
freshly squeezed juice of 1/2 lemon
1 egg, beaten

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C.

  2. Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface. Use to line a 23 cm / 9in pie plate, trimming off any excess.

  3. Place the syrup and margarine in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water for 3-5 min, until butter has melted.

  4. Remove from heat. Stir in the breadcrumbs, lemon rind and juice. Stir in beaten egg. Leave to cool slightly.

  5. Pour into the pastry case. Smooth over surface.

  6. Using any leftover pastry, cut into strips and arrange over the tart to form a lattice top, pressing down the ends to seal.

  7. Cook for 30 min or until pastry is crisp and filling is cooked. Serve hot or cold.
