Treacle tart is a British classic, and Mary Berry shows you how to make it to perfection. This version has a fancy lattice woven top to show off to all your guests. But Mary makes it very easy. 

Mary Berry’s treacle tart

flour

golden syrup

150 grams/5½oz fine fresh white breadcrumbs

lemons, zest and juice

egg, egg

My STP is altogether deeper and darker than the original version: it is still sweet, but the muscovado sugar and black treacle give it an almost savage intensity. It seems redolent of ginger, cloves, allspice – and yet none of these spices are used. It’s a miracle. I don’t understand it – but then, miracles are not to be questioned.

Equipment: You will need a 23x23cm/9x9in square baking dish.
