2 cups fresh whole wheat breadcrumbs
1 ¼ cups Lyle’s Golden Syrup
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 large egg, separated
5 tsp cold water
Confectioner’s sugar, for sprinkling
Preheat the oven to 350oF.
Lightly butter an 8" tart pan with a removable base. Mix the breadcrumbs with the Lyle’s Golden Syrup. In another bowl, cut the butter into the flour mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Beat the egg yolk with the water and stir into the flour mixture to give a firm dough. Roll out ¾ of the dough and use to line the tart pan. Fill the tart with the syrup mixture, spreading it evenly. Add the pastry trimmings to the remaining ¼ of the dough and roll out. Cut into thin strips and arrange them in a lattice pattern on top of the tart.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, carefully brush the lattice strips with lightly beaten egg white, and sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar. Return the tart to the oven for a further 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
