Hi Fellow Bakers
School Dinner Memories.. Treacle Tart
The other day I was thinking about the wonderful pudding we had a school and I remember the treacle tart and butterscotch tart mainly because they were my favourite with custard or that creamy topping they piped onto it ..
So I had to look for a recipe for both of them so that I could bring back those amazing memories of these wonderful tart recipes
I really love this recipe so I wanted to pass it onto you fellow bakers to see what you think and hopefully you will love to make it too for your family or friends

For An Alternative you could spice up your tart why not add 100 g of ginger cake crumbs to the filling and add a 1 tsp ground ginger to the pastry and it is a winter warmer with some fresh cream .. How Delicious !
