Oh yumyum! With Custard

You could also cheat and use Jus' Roll pastry which I am 99% sure is Vegan

Great recipe Shyvas, this is one of my favourite foods. I don't cook it often because I can't stop myself eating too much of it.

Some Jus Roll pastries are vegan, others have butter. The ready rolled Shortcrust is, but not the all-butter one (obviously). http://www.jusrol.co.uk/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductId=42. Not sure if this is available in other countries.

You can cheat even more and buy Mr Kipling's treacle tart which is vegan
