The earliest known mention of a Liverpool Tart is from an 1897 family cookbook. The recipe has been a staple in Liverpool homes since then. Why not try our modern version, made with demerara sugar and fresh lemons with zest?
Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan/gas mark 5).
Grease a 23cm tart dish and line with the pastry.
Melt the butter and sugar in a saucepan. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly, but not enough to solidify.
Zest both lemons.
Cut lemons into small pieces and remove all pips.
Combine the lemon with the butter-sugar mixture and eggs. Mix together until fairly smooth.
Pour this mixture into the tart tin to approximately 130mm.
Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and the filling starts to caramelise.
Allow to cool and then decorate the top with the biscuit crumb.
