Categories     Dessert, Treat

Time 2h45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

375g pack sweet shortcrust pastry
a little flour , for dusting
750g golden syrup
225g breadcrumbs
zest and juice 1 lemon
1 ½ tsp ground ginger
3 eggs
6-8 balls stem ginger , thinly sliced
vanilla ice cream or custard , to serve

Steps:

  • Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until big enough to line a 23cm fluted tart case, about 3cm deep. Line the tin with the pastry and fold the overhang over the sides. Chill for 30 mins.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line the tart with greaseproof paper and baking beans. Bake blind for 20 mins. Remove the beans and paper and bake for 10 mins more until the pastry is pale golden and sandy.
  • Meanwhile, mix the golden syrup, breadcrumbs, lemon zest and juice, ground ginger and eggs together. Once the pastry is ready, lower the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Using a small serrated knife, carefully trim the edges, then tip in the treacle mixture and bake for 55 mins-1 hr until the filling is golden and crisp, and feels set to the touch.
  • When the tart comes out of the oven, arrange the ginger slices over the top. Drizzle with some syrup from the ginger jar, then lift from the tin to a serving plate and serve warm with vanilla ice cream or custard.

LEMON-GINGER TART



Lemon-Ginger Tart image

Somewhere between a lemon bar and a lemon pie lies this ultra tangy tart. "Tart" makes it sound difficult, but it's easier than you think: The rich filling requires zero cooking, and the crust is a simple shortbread that you just press into place. The already vibrant yellow filling gets an assist from a bit of ground turmeric. It's an ingredient that you won't taste as much as you'll see, but it just so happens to pair perfectly with the freshly grated ginger. It's an extra step, but don't skip straining the filling. It will get rid of any lumps that the whisk couldn't tackle and will prevent those unsightly air bubbles that can rise to the top after baking. The lemon slices, while optional, are not frivolous: They add a bit of texture and welcome bitterness to the tart.

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups/192 grams all-purpose flour
2/3 cup/82 grams confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 cup/170 grams (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup/240 milliliters fresh lemon juice
1 1/4 cup/252 grams granulated sugar
4 large egg yolks
1 large egg
1/4 cup/32 grams all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Whisk together flour, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Drizzle in melted butter and, using a spatula, mix until it's well combined (it'll have a sort of Play-Doh texture). Press this into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan (or you can use a 9-inch springform pan, going about an inch up the sides), using a measuring cup to flatten and make sure it's all even.
  • Bake the tart shell until it's a pale golden brown on the edges and baked through on the bottom (it will lose that greasy shine), 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Make the filling and assemble: In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice, sugar, egg yolks, egg, flour, ginger, turmeric and salt. Make sure no lumps remain, but be careful not to overmix. Pass the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to make sure no bits of flour or egg are left behind. Add lemon slices, if using, and stir to coat. Set the lemon slices aside.
  • Transfer filling to the crust (depending on the depth of your pan, you may have a few tablespoons left over). Lay reserved lemon slices across the top. Bake until the edges are set and the center no longer jiggles, but does not look dry, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely before slicing.
