Walnut pie in molasses-caramel filling, the pecan pie's equally-good cousin. Golden-crusted and generous, with clean slices and no sogginess. Serve warm with cream, custard or a scoop of ice cream.

Ingredients

Butter1/2 cup, cold
Salt1/2 tsp
All-Purpose Flour2 cups
Sugar2 tbsp
Shortcrust Pastry1 cup, chopped
Walnuts2 cups, chopped
Brown Sugar1/2 cup
Egg Yolk1 cup, chopped

Instructions

1
Keep everything cold — the butter, the water, even the bowl — that is the whole secret of pastry.
2
Toss the butter through the flour, add just enough cold water to hold, and press into a disc.
3
Rest the dough, wrapped, in the fridge for at least thirty minutes — relaxed dough will not shrink.
4
Fold the walnuts and brown sugar through the dough until evenly distributed.
5
Bake hot until the pastry is bronzed and crisp; a cooling spell keeps the filling from running.

Chef's tip

Resting a custard or pudding overnight deepens the flavour and sets a cleaner slice.
