  3. Stir in the egg yolk and ice water until the dough comes together.
  4. Press the dough into a tart pan and prick the base with a fork.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden.

Notes

To serve, consider adding a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. A drizzle of extra honey adds a delightful touch. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze individual slices for up to a month.
