Step 1
-Pastry-
Stir together flour and sugar to prepare Dry ingredients. Mix Eggs and butter, until butter is softened to make Wet ingredients
Mix Dry and Wet ingredients until mixture forms a dry dough. If possible, refrigerate dough to give time for butter to firm up.
Grease/line a 30cm circular tray with greaseproof paper.
Roll out pastry into a large circle until it is around 1 cm thick.
Put pastry in tin and trim edges until it fits
Blind bake for 10 minutes at Gas Mark 5/180 degrees, with baking beans or weights in the tart if possible.

-Filling-
Heat syrup in a saucepan until syrup flows easier.
Add in other ingredients and slowly stir.
Leave for 10 minutes on the heat.
