Delight Mom with a nutty tart featuring a secret ingredient: fresh rosemary-infused handmade shortcrust pastry.
Ingredients:
  • 150g (1 cup) pine nuts
  • 200.00g unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 100g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) honey
  • 1 lemon, rind finely grated
  • 40g (1/4 cup) plain flour
  • Icing sugar mixture, to dust
  • Creme fraiche, to serve
  • 45g (1/4 cup) icing sugar mixture
  • 250g (1 2/3 cups) plain flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary leaves
Instructions:
  • Toast pine nuts in a pan over gentle heat, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until golden. Chop roughly.
  • For the rosemary pastry, use an electric beater to whip the butter and icing sugar in a bowl until light and creamy. Incorporate the egg. Mix in the flour and rosemary. Use your hands to form the dough in the bowl. Shape into a disc, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until 5mm thick. Line a 22cm round tart tin with removable base with the pastry, trimming any excess. Prick the base with a fork. Line with non-stick baking paper and fill with pastry weights or rice. Bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden. Remove the paper and weights or rice.
  • In a bowl, use an electric beater to whip up a fluffy mixture with butter and caster sugar. Add eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated. Then mix in honey, lemon rind, flour, and pine nuts until just combined.
  • Pour the sweet honey mixture into the flaky pastry shell. Bake for 1 hour, or until the pastry turns a beautiful golden hue and the filling just sets. Let it cool slightly in the tin.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy with creme fraiche.
