This is a "Greek Style" confection invented by my family. It is as delicious, sticky and as full of calories as any you might encounter on holiday in Greece.

If you replace the puff pastry with short crust, the honey with golden syrup and the nuts with bread crumbs - lo and behold - a traditional treacle tart!

  Ingredients:

    A pack of puff pastry
    225 g (8 oz) honey (about 8 tablespoons)
    1grated rind of a lemon (optional)
    cinnamon
    75 g (3 oz) chopped nuts (hazel nuts are good)

Roll out the pastry and use it to line a 20 cm (8 inch) flan dish. Chill.

Put a metal tray in the oven at 200 C° (Gas mark 6). (This is to ensure that the base of the tart cooks well.)

Meanwhile put the honey, lemon rind and a pinch or two of cinnamon into a small pan. Mix while you melt the honey. Add the nuts and stir. Pour the mixture onto the pastry base.

You can, if you wish, make a pattern on the top with a bit of the left-over pastry.

Put in the oven on the metal tray and bake for about 20 minutes until the pastry is cooked.

Serve cold or warm.
