Norfolk Treacle Tart

Norfolk and Suffolk share a special recipe for Treacle Tart, recorded in many old hand-written recipe books. it is often known as 'treacle custard' because it does not contain any breadcrumbs like a traditional treacle tart. The filling is rich and creamy and sets into a light lemon flavoured jelly, buy it is much less sweet and filling than the usual recipe

Ingredients:

8oz (22g) shortcrust pastry 

4 oz (100g) golden syrup 

1 oz (25g) unsalted butter 

grated rind of 1 lemon 

3 tablespoons double cream 

1 egg 

1. Roll out the pastry and use it to line a 7in (17.5 cm) round tin. Prick the base lightly and bake at 4000F/2000C/Gas Mark 6 for 15 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 3500F/1800C/Gas Mark 4. 

2. Warm the syrup until just runny. Take off the heat and stir in the butter and lemon rind. Beat the cream and egg lightly together and mix into the syrup. Pour into the pastry case. bake for 30 minutes. Serve just warm or cold with cream. Serves 6
