• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-2 full spectrum CBD oil drops (optional, for CBD infusion)

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 2-3 tablespoons ice water

• II. Equipment

Before starting the recipe, ensure you have the following equipment

• Mixing bowls
• Pastry blender or food processor
• Rolling pin
• 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom
• Parchment paper
• Baking weights or dried beans
• Saucepan
• Rubber spatula

III. Step-by-Step Instructions

A. Preparing the CBD-infused Butter

1. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
2. If desired, add 1-2 drops of full spectrum CBD oil to the melted butter and stir well to incorporate. Adjust the CBD dosage according to your personal preferences and the instructions provided with your CBD product.

B. Making the Treacle Tart Filling

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the golden syrup or light treacle, fresh breadcrumbs, lemon zest, lemon juice, ground ginger, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
2. Set the filling aside while you prepare the pastry.

C. Preparing the Pastry

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar.
2. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or food processor to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add the beaten egg to the mixture and mix until the dough starts to come together.
4. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough forms a ball. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it gently a few times to ensure it is well combined. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

D. Assembling and Baking the Treacle Tart

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Roll out the chilled pastry dough on a floured surface to fit the

9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Ensure the dough is evenly rolled and slightly larger than the tart pan.

1. Carefully transfer the rolled-out pastry into the tart pan, gently pressing it into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
2. Line the pastry with parchment paper and fill it with baking weights or dried beans to prevent the pastry from puffing up during baking.
3. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
4. Remove the tart pan from the oven and carefully remove the parchment paper and baking weights. Set the pastry aside to cool slightly.

E. Adding the CBD Infusion

1. Once the treacle tart filling has cooled slightly, pour it into the partially baked pastry shell, spreading it evenly.
2. If desired, add 1-2 drops of full spectrum CBD oil to the top of the tart filling. Use a pastry brush to evenly distribute the CBD oil over the surface of the tart. Adjust the CBD dosage according to your personal preferences and the instructions provided with your CBD product.
3. Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden.
4. Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

IV. Tips and Variations

• CBD Dosage: When infusing CBD into the treacle tart, it’s important to follow the dosage instructions provided with your CBD product and consult with a healthcare professional, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medication. Adjust the CBD dosage according to your personal preferences and the desired effects.
• Tart Variations: While traditional treacle tart is made with golden syrup or light treacle, you can experiment with other variations by using different types of syrup or adding ingredients like chopped nuts or dried fruits to the filling.

V. Serving and Storage

Once your CBD-infused treacle tart is prepared, follow these serving and storage guidelines:

1. Serving: Allow the tart to cool completely before serving. Slice the tart into wedges and serve it on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
2. Storage: Store any leftover tart in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Take note that the texture of the tart may change slightly after being refrigerated. Allow the tart to come to room temperature before serving leftovers.

VI. Conclusion

By infusing CBD into the classic treacle tart, you can elevate this beloved British dessert with potential therapeutic benefits and add a modern twist to the recipe.
