TOFFEE NUT TARTS Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Prepare *Press-In Pastry*:
  • Process or rub together first three ingredients,
  • then add egg yolks
  • and process until the dough holds together in a ball and runs on top of the blade.
  • If necessary, add a few drops of milk.
  • Press the dough evenly over the bottom and sides of an 11- to 12-inch fluted tart pan, or into several tart shells.
  • Bake at 325degrees for ten minutes; color will still be very pale.
  • Set aside while you prepare filling:
  • In a 2- to 3-quart saucepan [it must be large; this stuff will boil UP], combine whipping cream, sugar, orange peel and salt.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.
  • Remove from heat and stir in chosen nuts.
  • Pour nut mixture into *press-in pastry*.
  • Bake in a 375 degree oven until lightly browned, about 35-40 minutes for a single large tart, about 20-25 for individual tarts.
  • Remove from oven and let it stand at room temperature until just warm to the touch, then remove from the chosen pan and cool to room temperature.
  • May be made up to a day ahead of time.
  • [More than that, and you run the risk of eating it all up before you intended to serve it.]
