Categories     dessert

Time 1h7m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 ounces (115 grams) butter
3 1/2 ounces (100 grams) confectioners' sugar
Pinch salt
8 ounces (225 grams) all-purpose flour
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons cold milk or water
9 ounces (225 grams) pine nuts
9 ounces (225 grams) butter
9 ounces (225 grams) caster sugar
3 large eggs, preferably organic
4 tablespoons Greek fig tree honey
4 ounces (115 grams) all-purpose flour
1 orange, zested
Lemon thyme, leaves picked, plus extra, for garnish

Steps:

  • You can make the pastry by hand or in the food processor. Cream together the butter, sugar, and salt and then rub or pulse in the flour and egg yolks. When the mixture has come together, looking like coarse breadcrumbs, add the milk or water. Gently pat together to form a small ball of dough. Wrap and let rest for an hour.
  • Carefully cut thin slices of the pastry (or you can roll out if you prefer) and place in and around the bottom and sides of a 12-inch (30-centimeter) tart pan. Push the pastry together and level out and tidy up the sides. Cover and let to rest in the freezer for about 1 hour.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C), and bake the pastry for around 15minutes until lightly golden. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (170 degrees C).
  • While the pastry is in the oven, toast the pine nuts under the grill.
  • Using a spatula, or a food processor, whip the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Stir in your pine nuts, add the eggs 1 at a time, and then fold in the honey, flour, thyme, orange zest, and salt. Spoon into the tart shell and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Add a few uncooked pine nuts to the top of the mixture for decoration.
  • Serve with caramelized figs (grilled with a little sugar), creme fraiche and a little lemon thyme.
  • Serving suggestions: carmelized figs and creme fraiche.

HONEY AND PINE NUT TART



Honey and Pine Nut Tart image

Two types of honey lend this luscious tart its elusive taste: Intensely floral leatherwood honey, which could easily overwhelm the buttery shortbread-like crust and mild pine nuts, is tempered by mellow acacia honey.

Categories     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Yield Makes one 10-inch fluted tart

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup heavy cream
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
5 ounces (1 1/4 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup acacia honey
1/4 cup Tasmanian leatherwood honey
1 teaspoon coarse salt
6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 cups pine nuts (6 ounces)

Steps:

  • Make the pasta frolla: Whisk cream, egg, yolk, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Pulse flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a food processor to mix. Add butter, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. With the machine running, add cream mixture, and process until dough just comes together. Shape dough into 2 disks, and wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate 1 disk until firm, about 1 hour; reserve remaining disk for another use. (Dough can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months; thaw before using.)
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. On a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness. (If dough is soft and sticky, transfer to a baking sheet and freeze until firm but pliable, about 5 minutes.) Cut out a 12-inch round, and fit it into a fluted 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. (Patch any tears with scraps of dough.) Freeze while making the filling (or cover and freeze for up to 3 days).
  • Make the filling: Bring sugar, honeys, and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan, whisking until sugar dissolves. Add butter, and whisk until incorporated. Transfer honey mixture to a medium bowl, and let cool for 30 minutes. Whisk in cream, egg, and yolk until incorporated.
  • Place tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet. Scatter pine nuts over bottom. Slowly pour filling over pine nuts, redistributing pine nuts evenly with your fingers. Bake until crust is golden brown and center is set but still slightly wobbly, about 1 hour. Transfer tart to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Remove from pan, and serve immediately.

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the surface
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons ice water
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 large egg yolk
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 1/2 cups pine nuts
Confectioners' sugar, for serving

Steps:

  • For the tart crust: Add the flour, granulated sugar and salt to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until combined. Add the butter and pulse until small pebbles form. With the machine running, add the egg yolk, vanilla and water and pulse until the dough just comes together. Remove to a piece of plastic wrap and press together into a dough ball. Flatten into a disk then refrigerate, at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the honey and pine nut filling: Add the honey, brown sugar and salt to a medium saucepan over medium heat and whisk to combine. Cook, whisking occasionally, until the sugar melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the butter and whisk until melted. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and allow to cool for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to a 13-inch circle and place in an 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Chill 30 more minutes.
  • Prick the bottom of the tart with a fork. Place a piece of parchment in the center of the tart and fill all the way to the top with dried beans. Bake until the crust is set but still slightly pale, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool, then remove the parchment and beans.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the heavy cream, egg yolk, lemon zest and juice into the cooled filling. Place the cooled tart shell on a rimmed baking sheet and scatter the pine nuts inside the shell. Evenly pour the filling into the tart crust and bake until the top is golden brown, the filling is set and the very center still has a slight jiggle, 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Cool completely before slicing, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour. Serve dusted with confectioners' sugar.
