Treacle Tart Mark One

My absolute favourite dessert is treacle tart, so after a few months of baking, I decided to finally have a go. I'm going to be completely honest here and admit that for my very first attempt, I used a shop-bought pastry case. Please try not to judge me too hard, I promise it was only the once I did that   :-)

So I browsed around online and came across this tantalising-sounding recipe from The Crazy Kitchen, a Lemon and Ginger Treacle Tart. This sounded amazing, and I knew I had to give it a go. I love treacle tart, lemon curd and ginger, so what's not to love about this recipe? The recipe included instructions on how to make the pastry, but for now I concentrated on the filling alone.


Ok, so I cheated with the pastry, but it still looks good :-)

The result was a wonderful-tasting and perfectly balanced tart filling. The ginger and the lemon curd combined perfectly, and I immediately knew that this was going to become a firm favourite. And having made this, I was determined to attempt my own shortcrust pastry next time.

Beckie.
