- Make the pastry by mixing the flour, sugar and salt together and rubbing the butter into the dry mix. Once the mix ressembles breadcrumbs, add a little cold water under the dough is smooth but not sticky. Then roll it into a ball and place it in a bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- During this time, preheat the oven at 200°C.
- Prepare the tart filling by making small chunks out of the white bread slices and place them into a large bowl. Add the golden syrup and stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Once the pastry has been in the fridge for 30 minutes, take it out and roll it out onto a flat floured surface until it is able to fit into a 25cm tart tin.
- Pour the Golden Syrup mix into the tart tin and place in the oven at 200°C for 20 minutes and then 180°C for 10 minutes.
- Then take out the oven and tart tin, and cool on a rack. Eat when it has cooled partially or completely. It will keep for up to 3 days in a cake tin in the fridge.

Try added zest and juice of an orange to the syrup - makes it even better. - 22 Sep 2011
