Ingredients:
Sweet Cinnamon Pastry
300g/10.5oz Plain Flour
150g/5.3oz Butter
1 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
2 Tbls Icing Sugar
1 Tsp Vanilla Essence
2 Egg yolks
5 Tbls Milk or more if needed
Tart Filling:
450g/15.9oz Mixed Nuts (Brazil, Pecans, Pistachios, Almonds, Cashews, Roasted Hazelnuts)
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
1/2 Cup Light Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Elmlea Double Cream (Heavy Cream)
3 Tbls Honey or Mayple Syrup
1/2 Cup Water
1 Tsp Vanilla Essence
Method:
Crust-
Add the flour, icing sugar and cinnamon to the bowl of a Stand Mixer and mix together.
Add the butter and mix until it resembles coarse sand.
Mix the yolks, essence and milk together in a glass, add to flour and mix until dough forms.
Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Once ready, let the dough warm slightly.
Roll out the dough to fit a 27cm springform tart pan.
Prick the sides and bottom with a fork and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven 190C/375F.
Line the crust with baking paper and fill with beans or rice. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove the baking paper and bake for a further 15 minutes. Leave to cool.
Caramel Sauce-
Combine both sugars and water in a medium pan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat and bring the caramel to a boil without stirring.
When the caramel is a deep amber colour, remove it from the heat and whisk in the heavy cream, honey and vanilla with a hand balloon whisk. Stir in the nuts.
Pour the filling into the crust and bake for 15-20 minutes until filling bubbles. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy!
