Honey And Walnut Tart Food

WALNUT ROSEMARY TART WITH ORANGE CHANTILLY CREAM

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the tart shell: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the walnuts, rosemary and 2 tablespoons of the flour until the nuts are finely ground. Add the granulated sugar, salt and remaining 3/4 cup flour and pulse to blend. Add the butter and pulse until the dough resembles coarse sand. Pour in 1 tablespoon cold water and pulse until the dough just comes together in a ball. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until the dough is firm, about 30 minutes.
• Place the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper and roll it out until it is 1/4 inch thick and 10 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan and press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan, trimming away any excess dough. Prick the dough with a fork, place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake until light brown, about 20 minutes. Set aside while you make the filling.
• For the tart filling: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it is golden brown and fragrant, about 3 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, honey, cream, vanilla and salt. Add the browned butter, walnuts and rosemary and stir to combine.
• Pour the filling into the tart shell and place on a baking sheet. Bake until the filling is bubbly and thick, about 35 minutes. If the edges of the crust begin to get too dark, cover the tart loosely with foil. Transfer the tart to a wire rack to cool.
• For the orange chantilly cream: In the bowl of a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, combine the cream, granulated sugar and orange zest and juice and beat until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
• To serve, dust the tart with powdered sugar and top each slice with a dollop of the cream.

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.

WALNUT CARAMEL TART

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Put the flour in a food processor with the butter and sugar, and mix until it forms fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk and 1-2 tbsp cold water, and pulse to make a firm dough.
• Have ready a 24cm tart tin. Briefly knead the pastry on a lightly floured surface, then roll out to a round about 5cm larger than your tin. Lift onto the tin with the help of your rolling pin, then press into the corners using your finger. Do not trim the pastry. Fill the pastry case with a round of baking parchment and baking beans. Chill for 10 mins. Blindbake for 10 mins, remove the paper and beans, then bake for 5 mins more.
• To make the filling, put the sugar in a large pan with 3 tbsp cold water. Heat gently, stirring to dissolve the sugar. When the sugar is completely dissolved, increase heat and bubble until the syrup has turned a rich caramel colour. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until it has dissolved, then stir in the cream. Return to the heat and boil hard, stirring until the sauce is thick enough to leave a gap on the base of the pan when you draw your spoon across it. Stir in the walnuts.
• Fill the pastry case with the nut mixture, levelling it with a fork. Return to the oven for 8-10 mins until the filling is bubbling. Cool for 10 mins before removing carefully from the tin. Serve warm or cold.

HONEY AND WALNUT TART

Steps:

• For the pastry, put the flour and butter in a food processor and whizz to the consistency of fine breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and whizz to mix. Add the egg yolks and pulse until the mixture forms clumps. Tip onto cling film, wrap and shape into a disc; chill for 30 minutes.
• Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6 with a baking sheet inside. Roll out the pastry to the thickness of a £1 coin. Line the tart tin with the pastry, then trim off any excess. Chill for 15 minutes. Prick the base with a fork and line with baking paper. Fill with ceramic baking beans, then bake for 20 minutes. Remove the paper and beans, then bake for 5 minutes until the pastry is golden.
• In a mixing bowl whisk together all the filling ingredients (except the walnuts). Fill the base with the walnuts, then pour over the filling mixture. Bake for 45-50 minutes until just set with a slight wobble. Leave to cool in the tin, then serve at room temperature (or slightly warm) with double cream or ice cream.

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.
