November 2025 - Treacle Tart

For our November bake, let's make a treacle tart with a beautiful lattice top. recipe link: Mary Berry's Treacle Tart

During a trip down a rabbit hole while looking for our recipe, I found out that Treacle Tart is one of Harry Potter's favorite foods.

from Wikipedia:
Treacle tart is a British tart with a filling made from golden syrup.
It is prepared using shortcrust pastry, with a thick filling made from golden syrup (also known as light treacle), breadcrumbs, and lemon juice or zest.

What is Golden Syrup?

• Golden Syrup is actually where the Treacle Tart gets its name. Golden Syrup is a common form of Treacle. You can read more about treacle here. It is made from Sugarcane.
• Two common suppliers of Golden Syrup are Steen's (located in Abbeville, Louisiana) and Lyle's (British Company - East London).

For an alternate Treacle Tart recipe to consult, see the Paul Hollywood recipe published for the Stand Up To Cancer (SUTC) episode.

Between now and Sunday, November 23, shop for the Treacle Tart ingredients, inspect your tart pan, decide how you will make/buy your breadcrumbs, and review the YouTube video I will include in the comments that shows one method of creating the lattice top for the tart.

This will be my very 1st time making treacle tart, and I am so excited to make, bake, and share it.
