Cooking Instructions

  1. For the pastry, mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
  2. Add the cubes of butter and toss to coat with the dry ingredients, then use a dough scraper or a knife to chop the butter into pea-sized pieces.
  3. Add the rose water and 4 tablespoons of cold water while mixing gently.
  4. Form the dough into a ball with your hand. If it is very crumbly, add 1-2 more tablespoons of cold water.
  5. Roll the dough out into a 1 cm thick circle on a floured surface.
  6. Line a 25 cm diameter pie pan with the dough and trim the excess pastry. Cover and chill in the refrigerator. Keep the leftover dough for decorative elements.
  7. Preheat the oven to 175 °C.
  8. Blind bake the pastry case, topped with baking paper and baking beans or rice, for minutes. Remove to cool.
  9. For the filling, mix the eggs and cream together in a medium-sized bowl until smooth. Set aside.
  10. Combine the butter, sugar, salt and polenta until well blended.
  11. Add the rose water, honey, vanilla and vinegar and mix until combined, then fold into the egg mixture until well incorporated.
  12. Pour the filling into the cooled tart crust. Using the leftover dough, make pastry cut-outs such as leaves to decorate the outer edge of the tart.
  13. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes-1 hour or until the pastry turns golden and the filling is slightly wobbly.
  14. Remove from the oven and allow to stand at room temperature for 2 hours.
  15. Sprinkle the Himalayan sea salt over the tart and serve.
