Treacle Tart

Ingredients:

• 1 pre-made pie crust or shortcrust pastry
• 1 cup golden syrup (or light corn syrup)
• 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1 egg

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Line a pie dish with the crust and prick the bottom with a fork.
3. In a saucepan over low heat, combine the golden syrup, cream, and lemon juice until just warm.
4. In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, ginger, and beaten egg.
5. Pour the warm syrup mixture into the breadcrumb mixture and stir until combined.
6. Pour the filling into the pastry-lined pie dish and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until set and golden. Let it cool slightly before serving, perhaps with a dollop of cream!
