Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon ice water
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon culinary lavender, dried
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, sugar, butter, and salt. Mix until crumbly.
3. Add egg yolk and ice water to the mixture. Blend until a dough forms.

Notes

Storage: These tartlets can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving for the best flavor.

To enhance the floral notes, consider using high-quality culinary lavender. If you don’t have almond flour, you can easily make your own by blending blanched almonds in a food processor until finely ground. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

For a variation, try adding a hint of lemon zest to the filling for a refreshing citrus note. These tartlets can be served warm or at room temperature, and they pair wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee.
