Ingredients




1 recipe pie crust
1/4 cup fresh white bread crumbs
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 cup golden syrup

Preparation

1 Preheat Oven to 350 F.

Put the syrup into a saucepan with the bread crumbs, lemon zest and juice and heat gently until just melted. Cool. 

Roll out the dough and use to line an 8 in pie plate. Pour in the syrup mixture. 

Bake for 25 to 30 min or until the pastry is slightly browned.

About


Serve hot or cold, this is surely the way to an Englishman's heart. You may substitute honey or light molasses for the golden syrup or unbaked pie crust from your local bakery for the pastry.
