4Treacle Tart

Rich and golden with a deep caramel flavor, Treacle Tart is a nostalgic favorite across the UK. Made with golden syrup, breadcrumbs, lemon zest, and a buttery pastry shell, it’s both sticky and tangy—a perfect marriage of sweetness and citrus.

The tart dates back to Victorian times when golden syrup became a household staple. It’s even said to be Harry Potter’s favorite dessert, adding a little pop culture fame to its already impressive reputation. Traditionally served warm with clotted cream or custard, it’s a humble dessert that represents the best of British home baking.
