Treacle tarts
PREP+ COOK TIME 30 MINUTES (+RESTING TIME) MAKES 18
FROM THE TEST KITCHEN
Treacle has a strong molasses flavour, substitute golden syrup if you prefer a milder taste.
1 To make the pastry, process the flour, butter and icing sugar in a food processor until just combined. Add a tablespoon of chilled water and continue to process until the pastry just comes together. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2 Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan. Grease 18 pan holes of 2 x round based patty pan tins.
3 Roll dough out thinly to about 3mm. Using an 8cm cookie cutter, cut out 18 circles of pastry and press into greased pan holes; freeze while making the filling.
4 In a medium bowl combine coconut, cardamom, lime rind and juice, treacle and egg yolk; stir well. Divide filling evenly among pastry cases and bake for 15-20 minutes or until browned. Cool tarts for 10 minutes in the pans before transferring to a wire rack.
5 Dust with icing sugar before serving.
