Ingredients
Préparation
- Make the shortcrust: mix the flour, 150 g of sugar and a pinch of salt. Add the cold diced butter and rub in with your fingertips. Add the egg and quickly bring together into a ball without overworking. Divide into two pieces (60% and 40%), wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
- Make the caramel: heat 250 g of sugar dry in a saucepan over medium heat, without stirring, until you have a light amber caramel. Off the heat, pour in the hot cream little by little, watching out for splashes. Return to low heat and stir until the caramel is smooth.
- Add the honey, sea salt, cinnamon and chopped walnuts. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, then leave to cool slightly. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (170 °C fan).
- Roll out the larger piece of pastry and line a buttered 24 cm deep tin, letting the pastry come right up to the top of the sides. Pour in the warm filling and level it.
- Roll the second piece into a 24 cm disc and lay it over the filling. Seal the edges by pressing firmly, prick the lid with a fork at regular intervals and brush with egg yolk.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden. Leave to cool completely in the tin, at least 1 hour, before unmoulding. To serve, dust with icing sugar and cut into thin slices.
Notes
The tart is even better after resting for 1 or 2 days, well wrapped: the caramel firms up and the flavours develop. It keeps for 2 to 3 weeks at room temperature in a closed metal tin, away from heat. Cut it into thin slices with a sharp knife: it is very rich.
