Mum made this for NT and me at the weekend. I don't have the exact recipe, but basically, from memory:
Pastry base in a tin - she used frozen shortcrust, for the first time ever (she makes good pastry), and declared it perfectly good and fuss free.
The filling is golden syrup (300g, I think), orange zest, beaten egg and breadcrumbs, but the twist is, the breadcrumbs were from Hot Cross Buns. She had a pack in the freezer, so got 4 out and sliced them open to let them get a bit 'stale', before we crumbed them in the blender. The fruit made the crumbs a little moister than plain bread. The filling ingredients were all mixed (the syrup was warmed to make it easier), and then poured into the pastry case, and baked. I think it was gas 5, for 30-35 mins.
The filling had all the nice spice flavour of the hot cross buns, and a slightly more chewy texture than treacle tart I've had before. Very nice! We served it with creme fraiche for us, and soya cream for NT.
I think it was a Sainsbury recipe card, so a bit of research might find the actual recipe and any ingredient I've missed...
I guess other bread product crumbs might work too...
