Nuttin Honey Tarts Recipes

HONEY AND PINE NUT TART

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.

HONEY BUTTER TARTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place pastry shells on a baking sheet.
• Beat butter with an electric mixer in a bowl until smooth and creamy; beat in brown sugar and honey. Beat egg, lemon juice, water, vanilla, and salt into butter mixture just until combined; stir in raisins. Fill tart shells 1/2-full with butter mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until filling is bubbly and pastry is golden, about 30 minutes.

LEMON HONEY BUTTER TARTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Beat eggs in a large bowl. Stir in brown sugar, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Blend in melted butter. Fill tart shells halfway.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown, and filling is set.

PINE NUT AND HONEY TART

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 SALTED MIXED NUT TART

Steps:

• Cube 8 tablespoons of the butter and place it in the freezer until it is very cold and almost frozen, about 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Pulse the flour, 1/2 cup of the mixed nuts, 3 tablespoons of the granulated sugar and a pinch of salt in a food processor until the nuts are finely ground. Pulse in the cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Pulse in 2 tablespoons ice-cold water until the dough holds together when squeezed. Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap (it will still be quite crumbly), form into a disk, cover in the plastic and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• Put the dough in a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom and press into an even layer over the bottom and up the sides of the pan with your hands or the bottom of a measuring cup. Use a fork to dock the bottom of the tart. Freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.
• Place the tart pan on a baking sheet. Line the crust with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges of the crust begin turning golden, about 20 minutes. Remove the parchment and pie weights and continue baking until the crust is lightly brown and dry to the touch, about 10 minutes longer. Transfer to a rack. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• While the crust bakes, make the filling: Combine the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, the brown sugar, honey and a pinch of salt in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and, stirring constantly, continue to boil for 1 minute.
• Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly, about 10 minutes. (If the crust has cooled, return it to the oven for 5 minutes to warm through.) Whisk the vanilla extract and beaten eggs into the filling until smooth. Arrange the remaining nuts (about 2 1/2 cups) in a flat layer in the tart shell and pour the filling over top.
• Bake until the edges are set but the center is still slightly loose, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

NECTARINE TARTS WITH HONEY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Unfold pastry and press on fold lines to flatten. Cut pastry into 4 squares. Cut off scant 1/2-inch-wide strip from each side of each square (for total of 16 strips). Pierce pastry squares all over with fork. Brush edges with egg glaze. Place dough strips atop edges of squares, trimming to fit. Press gently to adhere. Brush strips with glaze. Transfer to cookie sheet. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; freeze. Thaw 10 minutes before continuing.)
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix sugar, lemon peel, cinnamon and nutmeg in small bowl. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons mixture onto center of each pastry square. In medium bowl, toss nectarines with 2 tablespoons sugar mixture. Arrange nectarines diagonally in pastry squares. Brush nectarines with honey. Bake until pastries are golden, about 25 minutes. Transfer to plates. Serve warm with ice cream.

• On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 disk of dough to a 14-inch round, 1/8 inch thick (reserve second disk for another use). If dough is soft and sticky, transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and freeze until firm but still pliable, about 5 minutes. Fit dough into a fluted 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Patch any tears with scraps of dough. Freeze shell while making filling.
• Make the filling: In a medium saucepan, bring sugar, honey, and salt to a boil, whisking until sugar dissolves. Add butter a few pieces at a time, and whisk until incorporated.

PINE NUT & HONEY TART

Steps:

• Put the raisins and glacé fruit in a bowl with the rum or juice, then soak for 1 hr.
• Roll out the pastry on a surface lightly dusted with flour, then use it to line a deep 23cm loose-bottomed tart tin. Leave the pastry overhanging the edges, prick the base, then chill for 1 hr.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Fill the pastry case with baking paper and baking beans, then blind-bake for 8 mins. Remove paper and beans, then bake for about 5 mins more. Allow to cool a little.
• Beat the butter, sugar, almonds, flour and eggs. Stir in the fruit, then pour into the case. Scatter over the pine nuts, press lightly into the surface, then drizzle with honey.
• Return the tart to the oven, turn down heat to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and bake for 40-50 mins until firm to the touch. If the top browns too quickly, cover with foil. Cool in the tin. Will keep in a cool place for 2 days and will freeze for 3 months. Thaw at room temperature for 5 hrs. Drizzle with honey to serve.
