Ingredients

Brown sugar Shortbread crust:

1 ½ cup all purpose flour
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons unsalted butter room temp

Filling:

1 ¼ cup golden syrup
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 lemon zested
4 tablespoons lemon juice fresh or bottled is fine
1 egg

Instructions

Brown sugar hortbread crust:

In a bowl with a hand mixer, or in the bowl if a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, whisk together your dry ingredients; flour, brown sugar, and salt.
Add in your vanilla and room temp butter, mix well. Mixture should have a crumbly texture, add more flour if needed.
In a standard 9 ½” tart pan, dump your crust and using your hands or the back of a spoon, pack the crust into the pan firmly and evenly.
Set aside to be filled.

Filling:

Add the golden syrup, heavy whipping cream, breadcrumbs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and egg to a medium saucepan.
Bring to a gentle boil on medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
Once a gentle boil has been reached, reduce heat and cook for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Pour mixture into your shortbread crust and place into your oven, preheated to 375℉.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until your filling has nicely browned, the crust should be a golden color.
Treacle tarts are typically served warm with whipped cream.
