How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 F.

  • Step 2: Make the dough. In a bowl, whisk the flour and salt to combine. Stir in the water and oil. Roll out in a rectangular shape, then fold in 3 parts like a business letter. Roll out again and repeat the folding 2 more times. Place the dough in an 8 inch tart pan - the kind with a removable bottom. Cover the bottom and sides with dough. Set aside.

  • Step 3: In a bowl, beat the eggs with the cheese, sugar, mint and anisette liqueur. Spread it over the dough in the tart pan. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the filling is set.

  • Step 4: In a small bowl, combine the honey and rosewater. When the tart is done, drizzle the honey mixture over the pie. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Serve warm.
