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/10.6inch springform tart pan, prick the sides and bottom with a fork. 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!
