Honey and Pine Nut Tart
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 large whole egg plus 1 large egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) plus 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon mild honey, such as acacia
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large whole egg plus 1 large egg yolk
- 1 1/2 cups pine nuts (6 ounces)
- Make the crust: Whisk together cream, whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla in a medium bowl.
- Pulse flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a food processor.
- Add butter, and pulse just until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Drizzle in cream mixture, and pulse until dough just comes together.
- Shape dough into 2 disks, and wrap each in plastic.
- Refrigerate about 1 hour.
- (Dough can be refrigerated up to 2 days or frozen up to 3 months; thaw in refrigerator before using.)
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 disk of dough to a 14-inch round, 1/8 inch thick (reserve second disk for another use).
- If dough is soft and sticky, transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and freeze until firm but still pliable, about 5 minutes.
- Fit dough into a fluted 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Patch any tears with scraps of dough.
- Freeze shell while making filling.
- Make the filling: In a medium saucepan, bring sugar, honey, and salt to a boil, whisking until sugar dissolves.
- Add butter a few pieces at a time, and whisk until incorporated.
- Transfer honey mixture to a medium bowl, and let cool 30 minutes.
- Whisk in cream, whole egg, and egg yolk until incorporated.
- Preheat oven to 325F.
- Place tart pan on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
- Scatter pine nuts over bottom.
- Slowly pour filling over pine nuts, redistributing pine nuts evenly with your fingers.
- Bake until crust is golden brown and center is set but still slightly wobbly, about 1 hour.
- Transfer tart to a wire rack, and let cool completely before serving.
