Sheep’s Bush Tartlets Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 1/2 cup ground sheep’s bush (dried)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 egg yolk

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and chilled butter with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add the cold water and continue mixing until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the ground sheep’s bush, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, honey, butter, heavy cream and egg yolk until well combined.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out circles with a biscuit cutter or glass and press them into the muffin tin to form tart crusts.
6. Spoon the sheep’s bush mixture into the tart crusts, filling them about 3/4 full.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the tart crusts are golden brown and the filling is set.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before removing the tartlets from the muffin tin.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve these delicious and unique tartlets as an appetizer or dessert. They pair well with a glass of red wine or a cup of hot tea. Enjoy the sweet and savory flavors of sheep’s bush combined with warm spices in each bite.
