- Roll out two thirds of the pastry and use to line a 25cm (10 in) flan tin.
- Warm the syrup over a gentle heat and add the breadcrumbs, grated lemon rind and 1 tbsp of the juice, and the ginger. Pour into the pastry case.
- Roll out the remaining pastry case and cut into strips; use these to create a lattice design on the top of the tart.
- Decorate the sides of the tart with a fork, being sure to press the ends of the lattice well in. Brush the pastry with the egg wash and bake in the oven at 190 C / Gas 5 for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden.

Nice but needed 200ml syrup for the amount of breadcrumbs. - 07 Feb 2016

I found this was better using stale breadcrumbs as they absorbed more liquid which ment more filling could fit into the tart case which obviously ment more flavour - 17 Feb 2014
