How to make Mini nuts tart
Tart pastry (20 pcs)
Soften the butter at room temperature, and mix well the butter, icing sugar, and egg.
- Sift the flour and stir thoroughly, mixing and kneading until it forms a smooth dough. Place a plastic wrap over it and chill it for fifteen minutes.
- Form the dough into twenty little balls, each weighing roughly 15g.
- For easier demolding, lightly grease the mould (3.5cm diameters), put a small ball, and gently press along the mold's edge to create the shape. The pastry can be trimmed and fluted. Using the toothpick or tiny fork tines, make a few tiny holes in the bottom of the crust.
- Due to the mini in size, it does not take a long time to bake. You may just put the crust in the oven while you preheat the oven to 180 °C for 15 minutes.
Nut fillings
Mixed all the nuts together. Toast for 10 minutes at a low heat on the stove or in the oven at 150 °C.
- In a saucepan, combine the honey, whipped cream, and butter. On low heat, bring the mixture to a boil. When the mixture starts to bubble and turns a caramel hue, take the pan off the stove.
- Add all the nuts to the saucepan and immediately stir with a spatula to ensure that they are evenly coated in the caramel sauce.
- Spoon 1 teaspoon of the mixture into the prepared tart shell, and bake for 10 - 15 minutes at 180 °C.
