How to Make Honey And Pine Nut Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4).
  2. In a large bowl, sift 200g all-purpose flour. Add 100g cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, and use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  3. Stir in 50g icing sugar. Add 1 large egg and 1 tbsp cold water, mixing until a firm dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to a circle large enough to line a 23cm (9-inch) tart tin. Gently press the pastry into the tin, ensuring it covers the base and sides.
  5. Prick the pastry base with a fork. Line with aluminum foil or parchment paper and fill with dried beans or rice (baking weights).
  6. Blind bake the pastry shell for 10 minutes. Remove the weights and foil/parchment and bake for another 5 minutes until lightly golden.
  7. Meanwhile, in a bowl, cream together 100g softened unsalted butter and 100g caster sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time.
  8. In a small saucepan, gently warm 100g honey until runny. Add to the butter mixture along with the zest and juice of 1 lemon.
  9. Stir in 50g pine nuts and a pinch of salt. Pour the filling into the pre-baked pastry shell.
  10. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is lightly browned and set.
  11. Let the tart cool slightly in the tin before dusting generously with icing sugar.
  12. Serve warm or at room temperature, accompanied by crème fraîche, Greek yogurt, or vanilla ice cream.
