Treacle Squares
Year Aunt Daisy, ; Please have you a recipe for treacle squares? I suppose golden syrup would do, My children had some and thought they were lovely, so they said, "Write and ask Aunt Daisy for the recipe!" "One of Many Listeners,’ Tekapo. Here is the reply, from Hataitai: I heard your request for a_ recipe for treacle squares, and as it is so seldom that I can give you any information in return for the many helpful and lovely recipes and hints you give me, I am hastening to let you have it, These are really very simple to make and are delicious. Half a pound of pastry. (any kind of pastry does for the base, puff, flaky or Fleur pastry with egg-just whatever is your favourite), 8 tablespoons stale cake-crumbs, grated rind and juice of 2 lemon, 4 dessertspoons golden syrup. Slightly warm the golden syrup in small pan, add to it the lemon and cake crumbs, Mix well together to nice consistency (not too stiff or. too runny), Depends on amount of lemon juice, and crumbs. Roll pastry out thinly and line a sandwich or roll tin with it. Spread mixture over and make a pretty trellis of pastry. Glaze with a little melted butter and bake about 1/2 hour. When cool cut into squares. Although these have been known for many years as treacle squares, they are always made with golden syrup.
