If you haven't heard about "brown butter" yet, you soon will. People are sneaking brown butter into tons of different recipes like Gnocchi with Sage Brown Butter, Pancakes with Cinnamon Brown Butter, Fish with Brown Butter sauce and Brown Butter roasted vegetables. Here is my Brown Butter Almond Tart, which is rich and delicious, and definitely worth a try.
By cooking butter over low heat, past the melting point, until the milk solids begin to go golden brown, it starts to smell nutty, and a whole new flavour emerges. With this Brown butter almond tart, the nuttiness of the butter with the addition of almonds, makes for an unforgettable taste sensation.
The pastry for this tart is mixed quickly in a food processor, and pressed into a tart tin. It is then topped with raw slithered almonds and then the golden brown butter mixture consisting of butter, milk, sugar and vanilla essence, is poured into the pastry case and cooked in the oven for 30 minutes until the butter is brown and nutty.
Allow to cool and then remove from the tin. When ready to serve sprinkle with icing sugar. This is a decadent buttery tart which you are going to love.
