Treacle Tart

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 1 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crust
• 1 cup Lyle's Golden Syrup*
• 1/4 cup whipping cream
• 1 large egg
• 1 lemon, zested
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 cup bread crumbs

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Press the pie crust evenly into a 9 inch tart pan with removable bottom.
2. Combine Lyle's Golden Syrup, whipping cream, egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, butter, and bread crumbs in a medium bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined. Pour into pie crust.
3. Bake tart for 35 to 40 minutes or until filling is golden brown and set. (Filling will jiggle a little but will firm upon cooling.)
4. Remove from oven and allow to cool until warm.
5. Serve topped with homemade whipped cream, ice cream, or custard.

Notes

* Light Karo syrup may be substituted for Lyle's Golden Syrup.
