For the pastry

• Chilled butter, cut into cubes - 1/6 cups (37 ml) 
• All-purpose flour - 1/2 cup+1/8 cup (150 ml) 
• Soft brown sugar - 1 tablespoon (15 ml) 
• Chilled water - 1 tablespoon (15 ml) 
• Chilled vodka - 1 tablespoon (15 ml) 

For the filling 

• Golden Syrup (or Maple Syrup or Corn Syrup) - 1/3 cup (75 ml) 
• Butter - 3/4 tablespoon (10 ml) 
• Whipping cream - 1/6 cup (37 ml) 
• Egg, lightly beaten - 1 

Directions

1. To make the pastry, mix the butter, flour, and sugar together in a food processor, or in a mixing bowl, using your fingertips to combine, until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
2. Make a hollow in the center and pour in water and vodka (if not enough, add a little bit more vodka) to make a dough.
3. Shape into a ball, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
4. Roll out the pastry and use it to line the forms. Chill in the refrigerator for another 40-60 minutes.
5. Preheat the over to 350F (180C) and put a baking sheet in the over to heat up.
6. Gently heat the Golden Syrup in a small saucepan.
7. Add the butter and stir until the mixture is smooth.
8. Remove the saucepan from the heat and gently stir in the cream and the beaten egg. Be careful not to scramble the egg, if, however, egg white cooks a little, then pour the mixture through a fine thieve to get rid off the egg white lumps.
9. Pour the filling into the pie shell and bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling has set.
10. Allow the tart to cool for a few minutes before serving with whipped cream.
