Instructions
- Step 1: To make the tart crust, pulse 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 3 tbsp icing sugar, and 100 g chilled cubed unsalted butter in a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 2: Add 1 egg yolk and 2 tbsp cold water, pulsing until the dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Step 3: Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press dough into the pan and trim edges.
- Step 4: Spread 1/2 cup Davidson’s plum jam evenly over the crust. Scatter 1 cup roughly chopped macadamia nuts on top.
- Step 5: Bake tart for 25-30 minutes until crust is golden and nuts are toasted.
- Step 6: Meanwhile, warm 3 tbsp bush honey with 2 tbsp heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until combined and smooth.
- Step 7: Remove tart from oven, brush the warm honey glaze generously over nuts, and cool before serving.
