A clue to its origin lies in the old way of making gingerbread by mixing breadcrumbs with honey and spice. Many people flavour the crumbs-and-syrup tart filling with a pinch of ground ginger and lemon juice, and some nineteenth century tarts were made with dried fruit, peel and thick treacle. Festive gingerbread was a delicious memory then and somebody decided that the mixture would taste just as good in a pastry case.<BR/>Apparently, there is also a Norfolk treacle tart which is a lemon custard flavoured with golden syrup. In Suffolk there is something similar known as Treacle Custard. These both used to be made with treacle.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01507779981002229597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780447680661720141.post-1574028674964724252009-02-17T14:01:00.000+00:002009-02-17T14:01:00.000+00:00I haven't had treacle tart for years but I used to...I haven't had treacle tart for years but I used to love it with custard.
