Baking Challenge

Treacle Tart

Give your tarts a name based on the flavors and decoration – and tell us about your recipe.

Maple Treacle – I followed Mary Berry’s own Treacle Tart recipe and tweaked it to add my Wisconsin Twist of Wisconsin-made maple syrup. The lemon and the maple taste so great together! Who knew?

Now that you survived this challenge, what words of wisdom do you have to share?

If you have fun and put love into whatever it is you’re baking, you can’t go wrong!

Tell us about how you added a Wisconsin twist.

This week I went basic and simple and substituted Wisconsin-made maple syrup in place of it’s British counterpart, golden syrup. It was an easy way to enhance this recipe and turned out delish! This is the first time I’ve ever done a lattice decoration in baking. I’ve learned a lot and am very confident my next bake will be even more beautiful!

How did you do?

Pleasantly satisfied.
