Description
A delightful recipe featuring the magic of caramelised honey paired with flaky pastries, creating a heavenly combination of flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 cup high-quality raw honey
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup water
- Optional flavors: vanilla, cinnamon, or nutmeg
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine honey and a splash of water. Stir consistently as it heats up.
- Once the mixture begins to bubble and thicken, reduce the heat to low.
- Continue stirring until the honey achieves a rich amber color, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add in a touch of butter to create a luxurious glaze and stir until combined.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Prepare your pastry according to your chosen recipe, whether rolling out dough or shaping it.
- Brush the glaze over the pastries before placing them in the oven.
- Bake as the pastry recipe instructs, then brush with more caramelised honey as they cool for added shine and sweetness.
Notes
Utilize a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the honey, reaching around 300°F for optimal caramelization. Store leftover caramelised honey in a sealed jar at room temperature for up to two weeks.
