aside from the classic bakewell, a treacle tart has to be up there as one of my favourite. years ago my dad used to take me and my sisters to the crusting pipe in covent garden where they did (perhaps still do) the best treacle tart i've ever tasted. i hadn't actually put much thought into how to make one before now, though when i came across the james martin recipe on bbc good food i thought i'd give it a go. also, it's just the perspective that makes that dollop of cream look so massive... honest.
