Golden-syrup tart with lemon breadcrumb filling, the British school-dinner legend. Golden-crusted and generous, with clean slices and no sogginess. Good warm or at room temperature the same day.

Ingredients

Butter1/2 cup, cold
Honey2 tbsp
Salt1/2 tsp
All-Purpose Flour2 cups
Sugar2 tbsp
Breadcrumbs1 cup
Shortcrust Pastry1 cup, chopped
Lemon Zest1 tbsp

Instructions

1
Work quickly with chilled butter so it stays in visible flakes through the dough.
2
Rub the butter into the flour until you have pea-sized crumbs, then bring it together with ice water.
3
Rest the dough, wrapped, in the fridge for at least thirty minutes — relaxed dough will not shrink.
4
Fold the honey and shortcrust pastry through the dough until evenly distributed.
5
Bake at 190 C / 375 F for 35-45 minutes until deeply golden and bubbling; cool before slicing so the filling sets.

Chef's tip

With butter-based batters, cream until the mixture actually lightens in colour; that trapped air is your rise.
