How to make this lavender honey custard tard
Firstly you need to make the tart pastry. Start by mixing together the butter and the sugar until creamy. Add in the egg, mix well until combined. Add in all the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Press the dough onto the bottom and edges of a 7-inch (18cm) tart pan. Cut the excess dough. Put it in the freezer for at least an hour or overnight.
After the dough is chilled, you can start making the honey filling. In a saucepan bring to a simmer the whipping cream and lavender. Let it infuse for 10 minutes. In a large bowl mix together the melted butter, sugar, salt, cornmeal, honey and vanilla extract, until all is incorporated. Beat in the egg, the vinegar and the lavender whipping cream. Mix until incorporated. Take the tart shell out of the freezer and pour the honey mixture into it. Bake for 45-50 minutes at 350 F (180C), until the edges turn golden brown and the middle of the tart is a little bit jiggly. Set aside to cool completely and sprinkle with sea salt. Before serving decorate with whipped cream and chopped pecans if desired.
