treacle tart

Sticky golden pastry

A treacle tart is a British dessert consisting of a pastry shell filled with golden syrup, breadcrumbs, and lemon juice, baked until set.

Despite the name, treacle tarts typically use golden syrup rather than black treacle, producing a sweet, sticky filling: We had treacle tart with clotted cream for pudding.
