Instructions
1
Pulse flour, cold butter, sugar and salt together or rub by hand until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs, then add ice water a little at a time until the dough just comes together.
2
Shape into a disc, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
3
Roll the chilled dough thin and line two 8cm individual tart tins, pressing into the edges and trimming excess; prick the bases with a fork and chill 10 minutes more.
4
Blind bake the tart shells at 190C/375F for 10 minutes with pie weights, then remove weights and bake a further 5 minutes until pale gold.
5
Scatter the toasted walnuts and chopped dried cranberries evenly into the warm tart shells.
6
Whisk the maple syrup, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract and orange zest together until smooth, then pour over the nuts and cranberries in each shell.
7
Bake at 170C/340F for 16-18 minutes until the filling is set with a slight wobble in the centre and lightly domed.
8
Cool the tarts in their tins on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before carefully unmoulding.
