Ingredients
- 200g Plain flour sieved
- 80g Unsalted butter diced
- 4tbsp Water
- Lyle's Golden Syrup
- 160g Fresh white bread
- 1 Lemon
- 6 Fresh raspberries to garnish
- 50g Tate & Lyle Pure Cane Icing Sugar for dusting
Method
Step 1
Add your flour and butter to a food processor and blitz until it forms breadcrumbs, remove from the food processor and add 4 tbsp cold water to make a dough.
Step 2
Combine your mix into six equal balls of pastry and roll out on a floured surface until they form a thin and even circle, big enough for your tins (10cm shallow pastry tins work best).
Step 3
Gently layer your pastry into the tins and press into the corners (using a small ball of dough helps to avoid tears in the pastry), prick the surfaces all over with a fork.
Step 4
Chill your tins in the fridge whilst your oven preheats to 200°C/180°C Fan/Gas 6.
Step 5
On a low to medium heat add your Lyle’s golden Syrup to a pan until it's runny.
Step 6
Add your breadcrumbs, lemon juice and zest to the pan and combine the mix.
Step 7
Take your pastry tins from the fridge and add the mix to each tin, popping in the oven for 15-20 minutes, before reducing the heat to 180°C/160°C Fan/Gas 4 to finish (around 10 minutes, be careful to watch so the tops don’t catch too quickly - remove from the oven once light golden brown).
Step 8
Garnish with a fresh raspberry and dusting of icing sugar - then enjoy!
