So far this is probably the only thing I wouldn't make again, The pastry for the tart was really nice and I had a little left over which was enough to make 2 little jam tarts. It was hard to roll out as it is quite short but I lined the tin with it in the way Mary Berry did on one of The Great British Bake off explanation episodes where she rolled out the dough into a large circle and folded the side into the centre. After that the edges that had been folded in were stood up and pressed into the sides - Very hard to explain! So I've found it on youtube, watch this video from 3minutes in to see what I mean:
Whilst the pastry is blind baking, the filling is made by placing all except the cream into a pan and heating to melt the sugar and butter. When this has happened the cream is added and left for a minute or two more. This is then poured into the tart base and cooked for about 15 minutes.
Now it looks nice, and smells nice however the filling was just a bit too sweet, too syrupy and dare I say it.. too walnuty?! Im not the biggest fan of walnuts but I don't dislike them, the filling was pretty much just walnuts in a very sticky glue made of honey, sugar, butter and cream. Now to me I don't think this was worth the calories! Give me any other dessert but if it's a lot of calories I want to at least enjoy every single last mouthful!
So, If you like Walnuts and things sweet enough to make your eyes water...Make this!!
