I made this for 'Zaar tag with help from my daughter. This is different from the other treacle tarts I've had as the lemon flavour in this really comes through. It was very sticky, sweet, and good! The kids gave it the four stars. You definitely need the whipped cream with this, to cut the sweetness, but oh is it yummy!

    This was gorgeous! It also looked quite professional which I was pleased about. I liked the tang of the lemon and it was very easy to make. Thanks for posting this recipe!

    I have never gone wrong with one of your recipes and this is no different. I adore mysteries (go figure with my name) but especially the old cozies like Miss Marple so I had heard of treacle tart but being American had never eaten it till now. My friends and I had an English pie pot luck so I made this. From the first bite we were all in heaven including the lone Englishman in the group. Excellent recipe that I will be making for Thanksgiving this year. Thanks for posting another wonderful recipe.
