Chamomile Tea Squares
Recipe from The Blog that Ate Manhattan by MARGARET POLANECZKY, MD
Tea: Add 2 Tbsp of chamomile tea to 1/2 cup boiling water in a pyrex glass measuring cup. Let steep. Strain tea. Let tea cool. (You will only be using 1/4 cup of this tea, so dilute what's left over with some hot water and have a cup..).
Crust: 1 cup all purpose flour 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar 1/8 tsp salt 4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
Filling: 2 large eggs 1 cup sugar 2 tbsp all purpose flour 1/8 tsp salt 1/4 cup chamomile tea
Topping: Sifted Confectioner's sugar
Preheat oven to 350F. Butter and line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
Combine flour, confectioners' sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add butter and pulse until the mixture is pebbly. Press evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan. Bake until lightly golden, about 15-20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Whisk together sugar, flour and salt. Add eggs and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the tea. Pour over crust. Bake until filling is just set, about 2o minutes. Cool completely. Dust with confectioners sugar and cut into squares.
