INGREDIENTS
For the crust:
240g (2 cups) of All-purpose flour
6g (1/2 cup) of Sugar
a pinch of Salt
140g (1/2 cup) of Butter
80ml (1/4 cup) of Water (cold)
For the filling:
3 Eggs
110g (1/4 cup) of Honey
110g (1/2 cup) of Maple syrup
80g (1/4 cup) of Butter (melted)
110g (1/2 cup) of Dark brown sugar
190g of Pecans (chopped)
For the covering:
Pecans
METHOD
1. In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt, and whisk together. Add the butter and rub it in with your fingers until it is fully incorporated. Gradually add the water and knead the mixture until you form a smooth, compact dough. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Once the dough has rested, transfer it to a working surface and roll it out to fit the cake pan.
3. Line the cake pan (22cm in size) with the shortcrust pastry, pinching the edges to form a neat crust. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the pastry.
4. For the filling, whisk together the eggs, honey, maple syrup, melted butter, and dark brown sugar until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans, ensuring everything is well combined.
5. Pour the filling into the prepared pastry shell and arrange the whole pecans on top to cover the surface evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (360°F) for 40 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden.
6. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool. Serve the cake on a platter, slice, and enjoy!
