Treacle tart is a British tart with a filling made from golden syrup. The earliest known recipe is from the English author Mary Jewry in her cookbooks from the late 19th century,^[1] however, mentions of Treacled tarts predates her cookbooks, for example, in April of 1828, a Mrs. Delafields of Fan-street (a treacle tarts, green-grocery and periwinkles seller) in London appeared upon summons as to why she was allowed to keep a ferocious dog after a complaint was made against her.^[2]

Treacle tart is prepared using shortcrust pastry, with a thick filling made from golden syrup (also known as light treacle), breadcrumbs, and lemon juice or zest. The tart is normally served hot or warm with a scoop of clotted cream, ordinary cream, ice cream, or custard. Some modern recipes add cream, eggs, or both to create a softer filling.^{[citation needed]}
