Ginger Treacle Tart

🍰 Desserts

Ginger-laced syrup tart, the sticky British classic with a warming kick. Rustic, crisp-edged and comforting — the dessert that empties the table quietly. Good warm or at room temperature the same day.

Prep 34 min Cook 32 min Serves 6 Hard

Ingredients

  • Butter1/2 cup, cold
  • Honey2 tbsp
  • Salt1/2 tsp
  • Ginger2-inch piece
  • All-Purpose Flour2 cups
  • Sugar2 tbsp
  • Shortcrust Pastry1 cup, chopped
  • Brown Sugar1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cube the cold butter and return it to the fridge while you measure the rest.

  2. 2

    Cut the cold butter through the flour, drizzle in ice water, and gather the dough without kneading.

  3. 3

    Rest the dough, wrapped, in the fridge for at least thirty minutes — relaxed dough will not shrink.

  4. 4

    Fold the ginger and shortcrust pastry through the dough until evenly distributed.

  5. 5

    Bake hot until the pastry is bronzed and crisp; a cooling spell keeps the filling from running.

Chef's tip

Salt is the missing ingredient in most home desserts — a small pinch makes chocolate and caramel taste more like themselves.
