Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 piece Egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 200 milliliters Heavy cream
• 150 grams Honey
• 2 pieces Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the cold cubed butter and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingertips until it has the texture of coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Add the egg yolk and cold water, mixing until the dough comes together. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit the tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim the edges. Prick the base all over with a fork. Line with parchment paper and fill with baking beans or weights.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the parchment paper and weights, and bake for another 5 minutes until golden. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream and honey until just combined and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Gradually add the slightly cooled honey mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.

Step 8

Pour the honey filling into the prepared tart crust and bake in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set but slightly wobbly in the center.

Step 9

Let the tart cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Step 10

Slice and serve as is, or garnish with fresh fruits or whipped cream for added indulgence.
