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.
