Honey Tips

Honey Is One of the Oldest Foods

Honey is one of the oldest foods in existence. It was found in the tomb of King Tut and was still edible since honey never spoils.

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Beat egg until fluffy. Continue beating while adding honey. Beat in brown sugar, lemon juice, zest, nutmeg, salt and melted butter. Put mixture into a measuring cup for easy pouring.
Place fillo shells on a baking sheet and fill with lemon mixture almost to the top.
Bake 12 minutes or until filling is bubbly and golden brown. Remove to rack to cool. (Can be prepared early in the day.)
Just before serving, pipe a swirl or whipped cream on each tart. Top with half a maraschino cherry or a fresh raspberry.
Yields: 24 tartlets
