Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp Granulated sugar
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter cut into cubes
  • 3-4 tbsp Ice water
For the Rhubarb Filling
  • 2 cups Fresh rhubarb chopped
  • 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 0.5 tsp Vanilla extract
For the Honey Glaze
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tsp Milk or water

Equipment

  • Food processor (optional)
  • Large mixing bowls
  • Rolling pin
  • 24-cup mini muffin tin
  • Whisk

Method
 

Make the Crust
  1. Pulse flour, 1 tbsp sugar, and salt in a food processor or whisk in a large bowl. Cut in cold cubed butter until pea-sized crumbs form, then gradually add ice water until dough comes together. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, 0.5 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well to coat the rhubarb.
Assemble the Tarts
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness, then cut into circles using a round cookie cutter. Press each circle into the cups of a 24-cup mini muffin tin and spoon the rhubarb filling into each.
Bake the Tarts
  1. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let the tarts cool completely in the muffin tin on a wire rack.
Glaze and Serve
  1. While tarts cool, whisk together honey, powdered sugar, and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Once tarts are completely cool, drizzle the honey glaze over each tart before serving.
