Instructions
Prepare the crust
In a bowl, mix flour and icing sugar. Add cold butter and rub with fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk and cold water, mixing until dough forms. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
Pro tip: Chilling the dough helps prevent shrinking while baking.
Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the dough
Roll the dough on a floured surface to fit a 23 cm (9-inch) tart pan. Press into the pan and trim the edges.
Pro tip: Use a rolling pin to transfer the dough easily.
Blind bake the crust
Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Bake for 15 minutes, remove weights and paper, and bake another 5 minutes until lightly golden.
Pro tip: Blind baking prevents a soggy bottom.
Prepare the filling
In a bowl, combine almond flour, honey, melted butter, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth.
Pro tip: Ensure the filling is well combined for even baking.
Fill and bake the tart
Pour the almond mixture into the pre-baked crust, spreading evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the filling is set and golden.
Pro tip: Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the centre; it should come out clean.
Cool and serve
Let the tart cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
Pro tip: Cooling helps the filling to firm up for cleaner slices.
