What is Treacle Tart from Harry Potter?

It is often mentioned in the Harry Potter books and movies that Treacle Tart is one of Harry’s absolute favorite desserts.

A Treacle Tart is a pie made of only three ingredients – golden syrup, breadcrumbs, and lemon.

This easy dessert might sound really weird, but for some magical reason, it works.

Recipe Note:

Make sure you use really fine breadcrumbs when making this recipe – panko won’t work as well. I ended up having to use half panko and you can see in the photos have my filling has a rather grainy appearance. It doesn’t affect the taste at all, but it doesn’t feel or look as smooth as it should.

  • 2 pie crusts
  • 1 cup golden syrup
  • 2.5 cups of fine grated breadcrumbs
  • zest and juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375F.
  • Place one pie crust in the bottom of pie tin. Prick the bottom of the pie crust with a fork.

  • Remove from heat and stir in the bread crumbs, lemon juice, lemon zest.
  • Set aside for 5 minutes to let the breadcrumbs soak up the syrup.
  • Pour into the prepared pie crust.
  • Cut the remaining pie crust into strips with a pizza cutter and place onto the top of the tart (the top is entirely optional, so you can skip if you want).
