TREACLE TART HARRY POTTER RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Press the pie crust pastry evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate.
• Mix the syrup, cream, bread crumbs, lemon zest, and lemon juice together in a bowl; pour into the pie crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, microwave 1-3 cups water for 1-2 minute intervals - it should be steaming hot but not boiling. Place a smaller bowl in the center of the larger bowl so that the water comes about half way up the sides. Pour the golden syrup into the bowl along with the black treacle. Let soften for about ten minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 F/190 C. Stir the breadcrumbs into the softened syrups, leave in the warm water while stirring. Stir in the lemon juice and zest. Let rest another five minutes.
• Prepare the pie crust - either by making your favorite short crust recipe or using store bought rolled dough. If using pre-made dough (as used in this recipe) cut a sheet of parchment paper to be about 1/4 inch wider in diameter than the rolled out crust.
• Gently press the crust into a fluted pie pan or tart dish. Spoon the filling into the center and press down to fill any pockets. Fold the excess dough over the edges of the filling or prepare a weave for the top of the tart. Whisk together the egg and water and generously brush over the entire top of the filling and any overlapping dough.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the tart has set in the center. Let cool for about an hour prior to cutting. Serve warm or chilled. Top with whipped cream or ice cream, as desired. Enjoy in the Great Hall after exams or a Quidditch win!
