Winnie's Treacle Tarts              Back to Recipe Page

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Filling

1 1/2 cups light corn syrup combined with 1 teaspoon molasses

1 1/2 cups fresh soft white bread crumbs

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1 egg, lightly beaten

Pie Shell

Prepare, but do not bake your favorite pie shell.

In a large bowl, combine the corn syrup-molasses mixture, bread crumbs, lemon juice,

ginger, and egg. Stir until the ingredients are well combined. Pour the mixture into the pie shell,

smoothing it with a spatula. The shell should be about two-thirds full. Bake in the middle of the

oven for 20 minutes, or until the filling is firm to the touch and the crust is  golden brown.

Cut the tart into wedges and serve at once.
