  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ⅔ cups ricotta
  • cup wildflower honey
  • 1 egg yolk

Steps

  • In a bowl, work the sugar with the lemon zest; the more you mix these two ingredients with your hands, the more intense the aroma will be.
    Incorporate a pinch of salt, oil and then the eggs.
    Start incorporating the baking powder and the previously sifted flour, adding a little at a time.
    Knead the dough until you create a homogeneous ball, adding more flour if necessary.

    Roll out the dough on a floured surface and place it inside a 9-inch diameter mold. Trim the edges, re-knead and create decorations for the surface.

  • In a bowl, work with a fork the ricotta, honey, and yolk.

    Pour into the mold and level well, also add the walnuts.

    Decorate the surface with the leftover dough, bake in a 355°F preheated static oven for 40 minutes.

  • Once baked, let it cool completely inside the mold.

    The ricotta, honey, and walnut tart is ready to be enjoyed. I hope you liked this recipe, see you next time.
