Instructions
 

Prepare the tart crust.

  • You can make this a day ahead and keep it in the freezer.
  • In a bowl beat butter on medium speed until creamy.
  • Add the sugar, all at once and beat on medium speed until creamy.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the egg. Mix until combined.
  • Add the flour, salt, and lavender, and mix on medium speed until the dough comes together.
  • Press the dough onto the bottom and edges of a 7-inch (18cm) tart pan. Cut the excess dough.
  • Put in the freezer for at least an hour or overnight.

Prepare the honey tart filling.

  • Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
  • In a saucepan bring to a simmer the whipping cream and lavender. Let it infuse for 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl mix together the melted butter, sugar, salt, cornmeal, honey, and vanilla extract, until all is incorporated.
  • Beat in the egg, the vinegar and the infused whipping cream. Mix until incorporated.
  • Take the tart shell out of the freezer and pour the honey mixture into it.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the middle of the tart is a little bit jiggly and the edges are golden brown.
  • Set aside to cool completely and sprinkle with sea salt.
