For the pie
 70 Butter
 3 Eggs
 135 Brown sugar
 5 Fine salt
 1 Liquid vanilla
 60 Maple syrup
 60 Honey
 250 Nut
For the sweet shortcrust pastry 1.2 kg of pastry
 500 Flour T45
 350 Unsalted butter
 125 Icing sugar
 1 Vanilla sugar
 1 pinch Salt
 125 Almond powder
 2 Eggs
Directions
1

Make the butter smooth by beating it between silicone sheets. In the mixing bowl, combine the chopped butter with powdered sugar, vanilla, salt, and almond flour. Scrape down the sides.

2

Add the flour in two batches. Mix again. Crumble the dough while letting it mix for a few moments, then add the eggs. Stop as soon as the dough is formed.

3

Gather the dough. This mixing should be done very quickly. It can be done by hand in a bowl. The dough should not be overworked. Let it rest for 24 hours in the refrigerator if possible. Divide it into pieces of 300 g. Storage: 8 days well wrapped in cling film. Freezing: 2 months; in this case, let it thaw in the refrigerator for 24 hours before rolling it out.

4

For the tart base: roll out the dough thinly to obtain a circle of about 27 cm in diameter. Grease the circle and line it.

5

Place it on a baking sheet lined with paper. Refrigerate for 1 hour before cooking. Preheat the oven to 170 °C a quarter of an hour ahead.

6

For the mixture: melt the butter.

7

In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar, salt, vanilla, maple syrup, and honey. Add the melted butter.

8

Coarsely crush the nuts and spread them over the bottom of the tart crust.

9

Pour the mixture over the nuts up to 2 mm from the edge. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool. Lightly dust the edge of the tart and decorate with pecans.
