About this recipe

Treacle tart lives or dies on the ratio of lemon to syrup. Too little and it is a sugar slab; enough and it turns into something almost citrus-led, with the crumbs giving it that particular chewy-set texture. Gluten-free breadcrumbs behave slightly differently from wheat ones — they drink more syrup — so this filling is looser at the mixing stage than you might expect.
