For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts to the bottom of each tart shell before filling. If using pre-made tart shells, blind bake them for a few minutes before filling to ensure a crisp crust. Watch the tarts closely during the final minutes of baking, as oven temperatures can vary. The filling should be set but still slightly soft in the center. Golden syrup can be found in most well-stocked grocery stores or online. If unavailable, a light corn syrup can be used as a substitute, though the flavor will be slightly different. These tarts are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Feb 17, 2025Can these be frozen? I'd love to make them ahead of time.

Feb 16, 2025I found that baking them on the top rack made them brown too quickly. I'll try the middle rack next time.
