Tarte Fleur De Lys Recipes

FRENCH CANADIAN TOURTIERE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine pork, beef, onion, garlic, water, salt, thyme, sage, black pepper and cloves. Cook over medium heat until mixture boils; stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and simmer until meat is cooked, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Spoon the meat mixture into the pie crust. Place top crust on top of pie and pinch edges to seal. Cut slits in top crust so steam can escape. Cover edges of pie with strips of aluminum foil.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes; remove foil and return to oven. Bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool 10 minutes before slicing.

HONEY FLEUR DE LYS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar, then add the honey. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon and stir in the butter mixture until the dough is smooth. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Roll the dough out about 1/4-inch/1/2 cm thick and cut out the shapes with your favorite cookie-cutter. Place on a baking sheet and bake until crisp and browned, about 12 minutes. Cool on racks and store in an airtight container.
