Ingredients
Dough
- 1 ¾ cups flour
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 8 Tbsp unsalted butter cold, cut into pieces
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp milk beaten with 1 egg above
- 1 egg beaten with 1 Tbsp water (for brushing)
Filling
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup half and half
- ½ cup cream
- 8 oz walnuts coarsely chopped
- ½ tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp orange peel
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- To prepare the dough place flour , sugar and salt in the food processor and pulse a few times. Add the butter and pulse a few times. Pour in the egg and milk mixture and keep pulsing until the mixture comes together.
- Turn onto a floured surface, and shape into a 12" cylinder. Cut into 6 equal 2" pieces. Roll out each individual piece to fit into a tartlet pan. Place a piece of parchment paper on top of each tarlet pan, and cover with pie weights. Place in the freezer for 45 minutes.
- Bake for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and quickly remove the pie weight and parchment paper. Brush all sides with the egg wash while hot.
- While the dough is in the freezer prepare the filling: in a saucepan heat cream, half and half, and sugar on medium heat until it starts to boil. Remove from heat and stir in the walnuts, vanilla, and orange peel.
- Fill the individual tartlets, then bake on oven rack for 20-25 minutes or until the filling has set.
- Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack.
