Treacle tart is a traditional British dessert. The earliest known recipe for the dessert is from English author Mary Jewry in her cookbooks from the late 19th century.
Treacle tart is a traditional English dessert, made predominately of shortcrust pastry and golden syrup. The tart is normally served hot with a dollop of clotted cream. It can also be served with ordinary cream, custard, or yoghourt. Treacle tart can also be served cold. It is a favourite dessert in the wizarding world and also a personal favourite of Harry Potter,[1] who likes it so much that he smells it when he is in the presence of Amortentia.
