Old English Treacle Tart

To make the pastry sieve the flour and salt into a mixing bowl; rub in the fat with finger tips until crumbly, lifting flour well up. Mix to a stiff paste, first with knife then with fingertips, with cold water; turn onto floured board and work lightly until quite smooth. Roll out the pastry thinly, line a shallow tart plate with it. Flute the edges.

Mix the breadcrumbs with the lemon rind, juice and the ginger; spread this mixture over the pastry. Soften the treacle, and dribble it evenly over the breadcrumbs.

Bake in a hot oven at 220C, gas mark 7, 425F for 15-20 minutes. If liked the tart can be decorated with pastry strips, before baking.
