Honey Lemon Tartlets
It's almost Memorial day, do you know what you're baking? How about these darling Honey Lemon Tartlets with Flowers! I love that they're sweetened with honey and the fresh flowers add a pop of color that's so festive!
Edible flowers? Yes! You'll want to source them carefully to make sure pesticides weren't used when growing, and that they are actual varieties safe to eat.
How to Make Honey Lemon Tartlets with Flowers
1) Make the crust. Cut cold butter in cubes and add to dry ingredients in a food processor as you pulse until a ball forms.
2) Press dough into mini tart pans.
3) Whisk together filling ingredients and pour into prepared crusts.
4) Bake tartlets, let cool and garnish.
How to garnish your tartlets
Garnishing these sweet little Honey Lemon Tartlets is the best part. This is where you can get creative. Dust them with powdered sugar, then add your fresh berries and edible flowers. Create whatever design you wish. Place them on one side or in the middle or all around the edges.
Have you ever eaten flowers?
A word about edible flowers: Make sure you ask your florist which flowers are indeed edible. I couldn't find edible pansies so I used petunias which aren't actually edible but also not toxic. I used them as a garnish and removed them before eating the tartlets.
I hope you will try these beautiful little Honey Lemon Tartlets with Flowers. They're perfect for a dinner party or barbecue to celebrate the holiday weekend.
