Ingredients
 
 

For the pastry:

  • 225 g plain flour plus extra for dusting
  • 110 g butter chilled, diced
  • 1 medium free-range egg lightly beaten

For the filling:

  • 450 g golden syrup
  • 85 g fresh breadcrumbs
  • generous pinch ground ginger
  • 1 lemon zest, finely grated and 2 tbsp of the juice

To serve:

  • clotted cream or double cream

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, rub the butter into the flour with your fingers until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Mix in the egg with a knife, then knead on a clean, lightly dusted work surface to form a smooth dough.
  • Use the dough to line a 23cm/9in loose-bottomed tart tin, prick the base all over with a fork and leave to rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.
  • Line the pastry with parchment paper and weigh down with rice or ceramic baking beans. Bake the pastry blind for 10-15 minutes, remove the paper and rice or beans and return the pastry case to the oven for a few minutes more, until light golden-brown.
  • For the filling, mix together the filling ingredients in a bowl and pour into the pastry case. Return to the oven and bake for about 30 minutes.
  • Serve hot or cold with clotted cream or double cream.
