Treacle tart

Treacle tart is a traditional British dessert. The earliest known recipe for the dessert is from English author Mary Jewry in her cookbooks from the late 19th century. It is prepared using shortcrust pastry, with a thick filling made of golden syrup , breadcrumbs, and lemon juice or zest. The tart is normally served hot or warm with a scoop of clotted cream, ordinary cream, ice cream, or custard. Some modern recipes add cream, eggs, or both in order to create a softer filling. Treacle bread is a homemade bread popular in Ireland and is similar to soda bread but with the addition of treacle.
