Sazerac Tassies Recipe
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 tablespoons anise liqueur
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 cup flour
- 2 ounces powdered sugar, plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) butter
- 2 tablespoons anise seeds
- To make the filling, combine the sugar, flour, and baking powder in a bowl. Add the beaten eggs, anise liqueur, and honey, and mix well.
- To make the tart shells, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Use your hands to form a ball. Press the dough flat (but do not roll out) and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375u0b0F. Once the dough has chilled, divide the dough into 24 balls and press each dough ball into a tart shell, or into the cups of mini muffin pans. Divide the anise seeds among the tart shells and spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling into each shell.
- Bake the tassies for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool before you unmold the tassies from the tart pan.
- Dust lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
