  • Preparation: 15 min
  • Cooking: 28 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (103 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, gluten

Ingredients

  • 35 g Pie crust, unbaked
  • 40 g Cane syrup
  • 15 g Breadcrumbs, dry
  • 3 g Lemon juice
  • 0.3 g Lemon zest
  • 10 g Cream, heavy

Method

  1. Makes 1 slice; multiply by 8 for a whole tart. Line a tart tin with the pastry.
  2. Warm the golden syrup slightly so it pours easily, then mix with the breadcrumbs, lemon juice and zest.
  3. Pour the mixture into the pastry case and spread evenly.
  4. Bake at 190 °C (375 °F) for 25-30 minutes until the filling is set and lightly golden and the pastry is crisp.
  5. Cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing, as the filling firms up as it cools; serve with a little cream.
